U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice has indicated that it is willing to talk with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell amid her relationship and work for and with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the DOJ stands poised to obey President Trump’s command to release “credible evidence” when it arises.
“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,” Blanche stated.
As reported by RSBN, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted on several counts of sex trafficking, which included one count of trafficking a minor.
Maxwell was also infamously known for being the former romantic partner of Epstein.
Last week, President Trump noted that “anything that’s credible” related to Epstein should be released to the public, erring on the side of transparency amid recent renewed interest in Epstein’s crimes.
In Blanche’s Tuesday statement, the DOJ reiterated its stance that after a thorough review of Epstein’s files, “no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
That being said, Blanche, at the direction of the AG, “have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department.”
He said he anticipated a meeting with Maxwell in the “coming days.”
Epstein’s case has stirred considerable controversy over the past few weeks, as conservative and MAGA influencers have loudly pushed for the release of any and all information related to the years-old case.
Last week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the Democrats for having “seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency on this…Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn’t do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes.”
The DOJ’s potential meeting may yield more information related to more crimes possibly committed against Epstein’s victims.
“Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now,” Blanche said.
