Trump has not ruled out commuting Maxwell’s sentence or granting her a pardon, saying in October only that he would “have to take a look at it” and he “wouldn’t consider it or not consider.” Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, has not yet responded to a request for comment, and White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Forbes the White House “does.
