Conservative Pundit Cornered On CNN For Touting Ghislaine Maxwell Prison Interview
HuffPost
Right-wing radio host Ben Ferguson was rather selective Friday during a heated debate on "NewsNight," as he chose to believe only some of Maxwell's claims.
Conservative pundit Ben Ferguson expressed complete confidence Friday on CNN that President Donald Trump was not involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, citing the late sex trafficker’s convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who claimed as much in a recent prison interview.
The “NewsNight” panel consequently erupted into a heated debate and name-calling.
Maxwell is currently seeking a presidential pardon and was moved to a minimum-security prison in Texas, but only after agreeing to an interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she claimed never having seen Trump in a compromising situation.
“There’s nothing wrong with asking those questions,” said Ferguson about the interview.
“You guys are angry that they decide to sit down with someone who, by the way, is alive, because the other person … is dead,” he continued. “Epstein’s dead. You have [only] one [known other] person who’s heavily involved in this [ongoing sex trafficking scandal].”
