DOJ releases Maxwell interview with Todd Blanche as wait continues for Epstein Files: Live updates
The Justice Department has publicly released a transcript of an interview conducted between Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
In excerpts from the transcripts, the British socialite discussed Donald Trump on multiple occasions, hailing his “extraordinary achievement” in taking back the Oval Office and downplaying the president’s relationship woth the disgraced financier.
Elsewhere Maxwell denied the existence of Epstein’s controversial “client list” – which has spawned conspiracy theories within the MAGA world.
The sudden release of the transcript Friday comes as the department begins to turn over documents from the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking investigation to the House Oversight Committee.
Earlier this month, the committee subpoenaed the DOJ regarding the criminal case against the late convicted sex offender and financier that has recently shaken the top levels of Trump’s administration, attracting myriad conspiracy theories.
Once received, the committee plans to make public some of the Epstein files, a spokesperson told CNN. It is not clear when that will be.
The Epstein files became one of the biggest scandals of the Trump presidency when the DOJ and FBI announced in July that no further disclosures would be made regarding the case.
