Deputy AG says he will meet with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell 'in the coming days'

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday that he has reached out to the attorney of Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislane Maxwell to meet with her "in the coming days."

"This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X, tagging Blanche as the author.

"The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in 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."

A joint Justice Department-FBI memo released on July 6 by Axios said that Epstein had no client list, died by suicide, and did not blackmail prominent individuals.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while facing federal charges of sex-trafficking minors. His death was ruled a suicide, but conspiracy theories have been floated that he was murdered, given the circumstances surrounding his death and his connections to famous people like former President Bill Clinton, former MIT Professor Noam Chomsky, and the United Kingdom's Prince Andrew. 

"President 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," Blanche continued in his statement on Tuesday.

"Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now."

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.

Her attorney reportedly confirmed the statement.

"I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case," Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said.
