Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has completed two days of intensive interviews with the U.S. Department of Justice in Tallahassee, Florida, handing over information on approximately 100 individuals connected to Epstein’s network. The meetings, which included a three-hour session on Friday and a six-hour session the previous day with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, are part of the DOJ’s renewed efforts to address the ongoing criticism over its Epstein-related investigations.
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, stated that prosecutors questioned her about “maybe 100 different people” and confirmed she “did not hold anything back” during the sessions. The meetings reportedly covered “every possible thing you could imagine everything,” in response to the Justice Department’s need to quell public outcry and political tension amid demands for greater transparency in the Epstein case.
These revelations followed increased pressure on President Donald Trump’s administration, particularly after the DOJ had previously indicated there would be no Epstein client list and suggested the investigation was effectively closed. Although Trump has not said he would pardon Maxwell, he has not ruled out the possibility when asked by reporters, fueling further speculation about political motivations and potential quid pro quo discussions surrounding Maxwell’s cooperation.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year federal sentence for her role in sex trafficking and facilitating abuse by Epstein. The meetings underscore heightened public interest and official scrutiny regarding the handling of Epstein’s files and whether key figures may avoid prosecution or benefit from cooperation with authorities.
