Donald Trump has doubled down on his support for alleged sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently awaiting trial.

In an interview with Jonathan Swan on HBO's Axios, Trump once again wished Jeffrey Epstein's former associate well, having previously done so during a coronavirus briefing last month.

When asked by Swan about those comments, Trump said: "She's now in jail, so yeah, I wish her well."
