Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi demands DOJ clarity on Ghislaine Maxwell pardon

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche seeking answers about a possible pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell's attorney suggested there is a 'good chance' she could receive clemency from former President Donald Trump.
Krishnamoorthi criticized any DOJ engagement with Maxwell's pardon request and requested access to related communications.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in a sex trafficking scheme, with her recent Supreme Court appeal denied.
