'Give me a break': Chris Christie slams Ghislaine Maxwell's Trump praise as phony

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed comments from Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in which she said President Donald Trump was not guilty of any wrongdoing and praised him as "cordial" and "kind."

"She might as well have taken out Donald Trump, or President Trump, and said, 'The man who can pardon me has never done anything wrong. The man who can pardon me has always been wonderful," Christie, a rare vocal critic of Trump in the Republican party, told ABC's "This Week" on Aug. 24.

"I don't think Donald Trump had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein that was untoward or illegal, but we're going to believe Ghislaine Maxwell?" Christie asked. "Give me a break."

Maxwell praises Trump as a 'gentleman'

Maxwell told Attorney General Todd Blanche during hours of interviews last month that Trump "was never inappropriate with anybody," and was "a gentleman in all respects."
