Top DOJ Official Seeks to Meet With Ex-Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says that he has reached out to Maxwellโ€™s attorneys.

A top Department of Justice (DOJ) official announced Tuesday that he will attempt to personally interview convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s associate Ghislaine Maxwell to ask her about possible suspects who may have been involved in the late financierโ€™s crimes.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in a federal facility in Florida after she was convicted for her role in a sex trafficking operation that involved Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, wrote in a post on X that โ€œfor the first time,โ€ the DOJ โ€œis reaching outโ€ to Maxwell to ask her, โ€œwhat do you know?โ€

Blanche added that he has contacted Maxwellโ€™s attorneys, at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who reposted a longer statement from Blanche on X.

โ€œI intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the lawโ€”and no lead is off-limits,โ€ Blanche said in his post on Tuesday morning.

Blanche said that the DOJ and FBIโ€™s statement released earlier this month that Epstein did not keep an alleged โ€œclient list,โ€ did not engage in blackmail with high-level officials or celebrities, and killed himself in a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 remains accurate.

โ€œIn the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,โ€ Blanche said.

โ€œPresident Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.โ€

He noted that until Tuesday, no presidential administration or DOJ officials had attempted to speak to Maxwell and determine her willingness to meet with the federal government.

โ€œThat changes now,โ€ he said.

An attorney for Maxwell, David Oscar Markus issued a statement confirming that his team is speaking with the government, responding to Blancheโ€™s post on X.

โ€œI can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,โ€œ Markus said in a social media statement. โ€We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.โ€
