Ghislaine Maxwell answered every single question put to her by Department of Justice officials, her attorney has said.
David Oscar Markus, briefly talked to reporters outside a Florida courthouse after the disgraced British socialite was grilled during a meeting with U.S. Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche Thursday.
Markus did not take questions, but said Maxwell “never declined to answer” and did not invoke any privilege during the meeting. Prior to the meeting he said that the team were looking forward to a “productive day.”
Blanche did not address media following the meeting.
Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, met with Blanche at the U.S. attorney’s office, which is located inside Tallahassee’s federal courthouse, in Florida.
She is currently being held at the Florida Correctional Institution-Tallahassee, where she is serving time for her role in their sex trafficking scheme to abuse girls.
Blanche had announced Tuesday that he had contacted Maxwell’s attorneys to pursue any potential new leads as Trump’s MAGA base continues to blast the administration over its handling of the so-called “Epstein Files.”
A July 6 DOJ memo had concluded there were no more significant disclosures to be made in the case, prompting fierce backlash from supporters.
Maxwell, 63, was sentenced to 20 years in 2021 for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple girls with Epstein and is serving time at the federal prison. Her attorneys have taken an appeal of her conviction to the Supreme Court.
