Ghislaine Maxwell Meets Justice Department

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche of the United States — United States Department of Justice met with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, in Florida to question her about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. This meeting is part of the United States — United States Department of Justice's effort to be more transparent following backlash over its refusal to release additional records. Ghislaine Maxwell answered all questions, and her attorney indicated that she might seek a pardon or reduced sentence. The United States — United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has also subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell to testify and voted to subpoena the United States — United States Department of Justice for Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. Donald Trump has supported the release of credible evidence, and his name was mentioned in government files, though without implying wrongdoing. Legislation has been introduced by Thomas Massie to mandate the public release of all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein. The United States — United States Department of Justice had previously stated it would not release more files and that an Jeffrey Epstein client list does not exist, despite earlier promises from Pam Bondi. A U.S. District Judge, Robin Rosenberg, denied a request to unseal grand jury transcripts, and the United States — United States Department of Justice recently fired Maurene Comey, an attorney involved in the cases.
