A prominent MAGA TV host says convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell may be innocent.

The British former socialite, 63, is currently serving 20 years behind bars for sexually exploiting teenage girls alongside disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“People are horrified when I say there’s a possibility that this individual just might be innocent,” NewsMax host Greg Kelly said. “But think about it. Who told us about her? The most reviled institutions in America: the media and the Biden Justice Department.”

Kelly also noted that Trump has not weighed in on Maxwell’s guilt.

1. I would imagine the people who served on the jury are also horrified to hear that. And infuriated

2. And pigs may sprout wings and fly, but it seems unlikely, same as possibility that she is innocent.

4. That's probably what the Epstein memo of control the message is about...

I sense the need to cover up tRump as a " business partner" with these two is why they will go to any lengths to redefine the pedophiles as innocent normal folks...

That's why the right-wing media is catapulting the propaganda to protect Donald John Trump.

8. Sorry Kelly -- Maxwell was indicted during Trump's first term

She was arrested by the FBI on July 2, 2020, based on an indictment filed with the court on June 29, 2020 -- an indictment presumably obtained fro an investigation and grand jury presentation that took place earlier in Trump's term.

And after Epstein committed suicide, Trump's attorney general told the press that he was "confident" that "we would continue to pursue this case vigorously and -- pursue anyone who's complicit in it. And so I'm very happy that we were able to get Miss Maxwell."
