Justice Department wants to interview Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Justice wants to interview Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, who was convicted of helping the financier sexually abuse underage girls and is now serving a lengthy prison sentence, a senior official said Tuesday. If Ghislaine Maxwell 'has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,' Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a post on X, adding that President Donald Trump 'has told us to release all credible evidence." A lawyer for Maxwell confirmed there were discussions with the government. The overture to attorneys for Maxwell, who in 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in prison, is part of an ongoing Justice Department effort to cast itself as transparent following fierce backlash from parts of Trump's base over an earlier refusal to release additional records in the Epstein investigation. As part of that effort, the Justice Department, acting at the direction of the Republican president, last week asked a judge to unseal grand jury transcripts from the case. That decision is ultimately up to the judge. Epstein, who killed himself in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial, sexually abused children hundreds of times over more than a decade, exploiting vulnerable girls as young as 14, authorities say. He couldn't have done so without the help of Maxwell, his longtime companion, prosecutors say. The Justice Department had said in a two-page memo this month that it had not uncovered evidence to charge anyone else in connection with Epstein's abuse. But Blanche said in his social media post that the Justice Department 'does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead.' He said in his post that, at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, he has 'communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department." He said he anticipated meeting with Maxwell in the coming days. A lawyer for Maxwell, David Oscar Markus, said Tuesday in a 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.' ___ Follow the AP's coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein case at Solve the daily Crossword

Deputy AG seeks Ghislaine Maxwell meeting in Epstein investigation
The Department of Justice signaled a shift in its approach to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealing that he has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell to gauge her willingness to cooperate with prosecutors. Blanche confirmed Tuesday that, under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ is now open to hearing what Maxwell might have to offer regarding uncharged individuals who may have participated in Epstein's criminal enterprise. "This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," Blanche said in a post on X Tuesday. Blanche reaffirmed the July 6 joint statement issued by the DOJ and FBI, which concluded that a thorough review of FBI files related to the Epstein case uncovered no new evidence to support charges against additional parties. "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," Blanche wrote. That memo, which was signed by FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, sparked controversy after President Donald Trump, Bondi and FBI leaders repeatedly said they would release all documents related to Epstein. Sources told Fox News that Bongino, who signed off on the memo, complained about it in private following public backlash. The new outreach to Maxwell is in the hopes that Epstein's convicted accomplice "has information about anyone who has committed crime against victims," Blanche said. "President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence…" he wrote. "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." The new outreach to Maxwell marks the first time, according to Blanche, that any administration has approached her legal team with an inquiry into potential cooperation. "That changes now," Blanche emphasized. Blanche said that he "anticipates meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days." David Oscar Markus, Maxwell's attorney, confirmed to Fox News that they 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," he said. FBI Director Patel responded succinctly to Blanche's statement, writing on X Tuesday: "Get it." Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of helping Epstein traffic teen girls. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison and has appealed her case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Fox News Digital has reached out to the DOJ and the FBI for comment.

Deputy AG says he plans to meet with Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in ‘the coming days'
US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he intends to meet with Jeffrey Epstein's madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 'the coming days' to see if she would be willing to disclose more information to the feds about the late sex offender. 'President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If [Ghislaine] Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,' Blanche said in a statement. '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.' 3 US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche intends to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell in 'the coming days.' 3 If [Ghislaine] Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,' Blanche said. REUTERS Blanche, the second-highest ranking official in the Justice Department, insisted that the July 6 memo, which concluded the evidence suggests Epstein killed himself in prison and didn't have a client list, 'remains as accurate today as it was when it was written.' Maxwell, a disgraced British socialite who was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other crimes, is serving out a 20-year prison sentence. Former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz has claimed that 'she knows everything' about the pedophile's crimes. 3 Trump and Melania Trump take a photo with Epstein and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago on February 12, 2000.
