The Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump GOP super PAC, released a new video Friday criticizing President Trump’s friendly remarks toward Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein who is awaiting trial on charges that she helped recruit girls who were sexually abused.
Both Epstein and Maxwell have been seen in photos with Trump, as well as with other prominent figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton.
“I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said Tuesday when asked about the case at a press conference.
The minutelong Lincoln Project ad shows footage of Trump engaging with Maxwell and Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell last year.
The Lincoln Project is not the first PAC to seize on the president’s words. The Democratic super PAC MeidasTouch released a new 30-second ad this week titled “Trump is a Disaster,” highlighting some of the president’s most controversial comments, including those wishing Maxwell well.
