Donald Trump Jr made a dark joke on Instagram about convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, even after her father’s call was discussed several times during her trial.
“Ghislaine Maxwell, 1961, about next week,” Trump wrote in the caption of a photo of Maxwell, with the taste of a symbol “in memory. “
Maxwell found that he blamed several similar fees Wednesday on grooming underage women for her ex-boyfriend, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to abuse him. death, not suicide.
Many of those theorists, without evidence, that someone murdered Epstein to silence him about his tough friends who possibly would have participated in his crimes. This seemed to be the crux of M’s attempt at humor. Trump, which implied that Maxwell would do it. find a similar fate.
“Too soon?” the former president’s son asked, expecting accusations of bad taste. “No, it’s never too early for a fart [sic] or their facilitators. “
In his message, Trump did not mention that his father is friends with Epstein and Maxwell and was photographed several times with both. During Maxwell’s trial, flight logs from Epstein’s personal plane showed that elderly Donald Trump was aboard the plane at least seven times.
The former president has not been accused or accused of wrongdoing, but such a story puts his son in an awkward position to criticize Maxwell, let him joke about his death, or at least others might see it that way.
When Maxwell was first arrested in July 2020, President Trump did not distance himself from her.
“I just wish him luck, frankly,” Trump said at a White House news convention. “I’ve met her several times over the years, especially since she lived in Palm Beach and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish him luck, whatever.
Maxwell, 60, convicted of sex trafficking of minors and 4 other similar charges. If the maximum penalty is imposed for each charge, he faces up to 65 years in prison.
