Well, sure, because there was no way the suicide <wink, wink> of Epstein had any influence on her thinking.
Epstein died in 2019, long before she was indicted. Whatever effect on her thinking it had wouldn't have changed between 2020 and today. If she wasn't in a position to cut a deal then, nothing will have changed.
The simplest explanation is that it's extremely unlikely that she and Epstein were extremely close friends with Trumpedo for a decade without her having some damning evidence against him.
Why is that unlikely? There's no reason to think that Trump actually participated in any of these crimes. Just like the many other hundreds of people in Epstein's orbit, some of which were much closer friends than Trump. Actually, one of the defining (and unusual) characteristics of Trump's personality is that he doesn't seem to actually have any close friends, so I would question the predicate. Another defining characteristic of Trump's personality is that he has the innate caution and paranoia of a mob boss, and so would be exceedingly unlikely to allow himself to be in a position where someone like Maxwell had the goods on him.
The simplest explanation is that Trump never directly engaged in any untoward activity any time Maxwell was around, and she's got nothing. That's why she never cut a deal - she had no cards to play, and this is all conspiracy-theory wishcasting.
