A senior official from the Department of Justice is set to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein, on Thursday in Tallahassee, Florida. Sources familiar with the situation disclosed this information to ABC News. This meeting follows a statement from the Justice Department indicating that the discussion between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Maxwell would take place soon.
In a statement shared by Attorney General Pam Bondi on X earlier this week, Blanche emphasized the importance of this meeting. He noted, "President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislaine Maxwell possesses information regarding anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will be eager to hear her insights." This underscores the ongoing interest in Maxwell's potential knowledge of criminal activities linked to Epstein and his associates.
Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on multiple counts, including sex trafficking, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022. She is currently serving her sentence in a federal prison located in Tallahassee, where the upcoming meeting will take place. Her attorney has confirmed that they are in discussions with the government regarding this visit, asserting that "Ghislaine will always testify truthfully."
In a related development, on Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that a subpoena has been issued for Maxwell to provide a deposition at the prison on August 11. In his statement, Comer highlighted the significant public interest and scrutiny surrounding both Maxwell and Epstein's cases, indicating the ongoing demand for accountability and transparency.
