(NewsNation) — The Department of Justice anticipates soon meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice and former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, according to Deputy Attorney General Tom Blanche.
“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence … 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,” Blanche wrote in a statement shared by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days,” he continued. “Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on sex trafficking charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The DOJ on Friday requested that the federal court unseal transcripts from the grand jury that investigated Epstein before his 2019 death in a New York City jail.
The request came after President Donald Trump asked Bondi on Thursday to “produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.”
