Krishnamoorthi also forcefully rejected any potential clemency for Maxwell ... 'I’ve introduced a House resolution condemning clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell.' ... 'Ghislaine Maxwell should never ever ever receive clemency'
Oppose any potential clemency or pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.
Occurrences
Evidence
At a House Oversight field hearing, Raja Krishnamoorthi warned Trump against clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell and said Congress should do everything possible to block a pardon.
In Senate testimony, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said he would not recommend a pardon for Maxwell.
Assessments
The promise was to oppose any clemency or pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, not to control the final clemency decision. The evidence shows Krishnamoorthi publicly warned against clemency at a House Oversight hearing and backed congressional action to block it, which satisfies the promised action of opposition during his current federal term. Separate DOJ testimony that an acting attorney general would not recommend a pardon is consistent with the issue remaining live, but the core delivery is Krishnamoorthi’s own direct, on-record opposition.
