BREAKING: Top DOJ Official Plans To Hold Meeting With Ghislaine Maxwell

This could be huge.

The Deputy Attorney General has announced he plans to hold a meeting with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced in a post on X that he plans to meet with Maxwell at her prison in Tallahassee, Florida.

Take a look:

Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits. https://t.co/3IZh9viI7i

CNBC reported more details on the move by the DOJ:

A top Department of Justice official said Tuesday that he intends to meet soon with Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite serving a 20-year prison term for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise, to ask her “what do you know” about other potential sexual abusers.

The extraordinary announcement by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche comes after weeks of controversy and criticism of the Trump administration for recently reneging on promises to make public more details of investigative files about the late money manager Epstein and Maxwell.

President Donald Trump, who years ago had been a friend of Epstein, has chafed under that criticism and suggested that the furor over the withholding of the Epstein files is a “hoax” cooked up by Democrats.

Blanche’s statement on X, which was retweeted by Attorney General Pam Bondi, raises the question of whether Maxwell will cooperate with the DOJ, possibly in hopes of receiving a reduction in her prison term.

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Marcus, in his own X post, wrote, “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,” Markus wrote.

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of crimes related to procuring and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, who killed himself in jail after being arrested on child sex trafficking charges.

CBS reported that Maxwell may not agree to talk to the DOJ:

On Capitol Hill, a subcommittee of the House Oversight and Reform Committee approved a motion from GOP Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee that directs the committee’s chairman to subpoena Maxwell to appear for a deposition, a signal of lawmakers’ interest in speaking to Epstein’s former partner.

Blanche, who was President Trump’s private defense attorney before joining the Justice Department, said that the department and the FBI continue to stand by a memo released earlier this month that concluded Epstein did not have a “client list” and confirmed that he died by suicide. The memo, which detailed the findings of a review of Epstein’s case, also said there was no “credible evidence” that the disgraced financier blackmailed prominent people.

The Justice Department and FBI also said they would not release any additional information about Epstein’s case, and noted that the review did not uncover evidence that would prompt an investigation into uncharged third parties.

“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,” Blanche said in a second statement shared by Bondi. “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.”

The deputy attorney general said the Justice Department in prior administrations had not asked about her willingness to meet with the government, and he anticipates “meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days.”
