The Spin

Narrative A

Maxwell was Epstein's girlfriend for almost two decades, helping him traffic and abuse dozens of underage victims, some as young as 14. Although the risk is high, with the right agreement, she may hold the power to unravel decades of lies and expose the truth once and for all.

Narrative B

Nothing good will come of any deal with Maxwell. Likely the accomplice to many more crimes, the former trafficker will feed the American people with any lie she pleases to escape justice. If the Trump administration gives her the immunity she wants, it's clear that this will only be for the president's own protection.
