GHISLAINE’S SECRET PLEA FOR PRESIDENTI­AL PARDON!

-

SERIAL sleaze Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, begged Alan Dershowitz to help her secure a presidenti­al pardon before she went on trial for grooming teenage girls to hand out as candy to powerful clients!

Ghislaine’s brother Ian,

65, shockingly revealed the

Maxwell family reached out to the famed trial attorney,

83, in a hail-Mary attempt to lobby then-President Donald Trump in the waning days of his administra­tion.

“There was one phone call between Professor Dershowitz and a family member, during which the generic issue of pardons was touched on,” Ian said. The retired Harvard law professor — who has represente­d such boldface names as Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson and Leona Helmsley— told The National ENQUIRER he took the call, but denied lobbying the president on Ghislaine’s behalf.

“A member of Maxwell’s family did speak to me about a pardon,” he said. “But they never asked me to do anything. They just asked me advice.” Ghislaine, 60, was found guilty on Dec. 29 of five counts of sex traffickin­g. She faces up to 65 years behind bars, though her lawyers have for a mistrial

jurors didn’t reveal they were sex abuse victims. Dershowitz had a long relationsh­ip convicted sex

Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex-traffickin­g

when he died in 2019. He was part of the legal team working on the 2008 case that resulted in the perv’s slap-on-the-wrist sentence for sex with a 14-year-old girl. Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Dershowitz of bedding her at least six times when she was a teen. He has denied the allegation­s and branded Virginia a “serial liar.”
