Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has announced plans to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, signaling a potential new chapter in the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
Maxwell, a British socialite currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s abuse ring, may soon be questioned by federal officials about other individuals connected to the case. Blanche confirmed he plans to ask her directly, “What do you know,” referring to other possible sexual abusers.
This development follows mounting public pressure and frustration over the Department of Justice’s delay in releasing key investigative records related to Epstein and Maxwell. Blanche’s statement, shared on X and amplified by Attorney General Pam Bondi, raised speculation about whether Maxwell might choose to cooperate in hopes of reducing her sentence.
Attorney David Oscar Markus, who represents Maxwell, responded with a post of his own on X, writing, “I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully.” He also expressed appreciation for President Trump, saying, “We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein, who died by suicide in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges.
Blanche’s message also emphasized that Trump wants to ensure full transparency. “President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,” he posted, addressing ongoing criticism over the decision to withhold Epstein-related files.
Maxwell is currently appealing her conviction, with a request pending before the Supreme Court. Whether this meeting leads to further revelations or potential cooperation remains to be seen, but the push for accountability around Epstein’s crimes is clearly gaining renewed momentum.
