Collaborative analysis between CNN and New York Times correspondents criticized efforts by media allies of Donald Trump to frame Ghislaine Maxwell as a victim. The Trump administration has attempted to minimize the scrutiny surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s case. Trump's comments and actions have intensified interest in the connection between him and Epstein. Discussions about a potential pardon for Maxwell have arisen, despite her role as a significant player in the Epstein saga. This narrative shift toward victimization has been supported by figures within MAGA media outlets, indicating a broader strategy to mitigate Maxwell's culpability.
What I think you're seeing the Trump administration potentially moving toward is claiming she was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, that she was somehow not a sex trafficker herself, but somebody who was caught up in his crime wave.
MAGA media has already been doing that. I'd actually we have two of those sound bites put together, of people making the shift that you're referencing here.
