Top DOJ official expects to meet with longtime Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell [View all]

Source: The Hill

A senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official has reached out to lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex offender and associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, about setting up a meeting with Maxwell amid a push from lawmakers for more transparency around Epstein’s case.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement early Tuesday that he has communicated with Maxwell’s counsel “to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department.”

“I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days,” Blanche said. “Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.”

Blanche said his outreach was at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has faced criticism from conservatives over her handling of documents related to Epstein.
