00:00President Trump is raising eyebrows after not ruling out a pardon for convicted sex trafficker Jelaine Maxwell,

00:06the longtime associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

00:10Here's his exchange with CNN's Caitlin Collins when asked about the possibility.

00:16Well, I'll take a look at it. I will speak to the DOJ.

00:20I wouldn't consider it or not consider it. I don't know anything about it.

00:23But I will speak to the DOJ.

00:26I don't know. I mean, I'd have to speak to the DOJ. I'll look at it.

00:31I have a lot of people have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy has asked me for a pardon.

00:38But she was convicted of child sex trafficking.

00:40Yeah, I mean, I'm going to have to take a look at it. I have to ask DOJ.

00:44I didn't know they rejected it. I didn't know she was even asking for it, frankly.

00:47The exchange comes amid growing pressure on the DOJ to release more information from the so-called Epstein files,

00:54including names and connections to public figures.

00:57Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence at a minimum security prison camp in Texas.

01:03Her transfer earlier this year was approved by the Justice Department
