The DOJ is seeking to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, marking the first time federal prosecutors have approached her directly since her conviction in the Epstein sex-trafficking case.
The announcement was made Tuesday morning by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who said the department is prepared to act on any credible information Maxwell is willing to provide.
In a formal statement, Bondi emphasized the DOJ’s renewed pursuit of accountability.
“This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead,” she said.
Bondi confirmed that, under her direction, outreach had begun with Maxwell’s legal team to explore her willingness to cooperate.
She said that President Trump has made it clear that the department is committed to uncovering and releasing any credible information.
“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,” she said.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche echoed that commitment, stating that the DOJ is taking a bold step by directly reaching out to Maxwell through her lawyers and plans to meet with her soon.
He emphasized that everyone will be held accountable and all leads will be followed.
Maxwell’s attorney, Davis Oscar Markus, also made a statement.
“I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,” he said.
“We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”
This represents a change in approach for the DOJ.
Previous administrations had not directly contacted Maxwell regarding potential involvement of others.
According to a joint DOJ-FBI memo dated July 6, no actionable new evidence had been identified in prior case files.
However, the department now appears ready to explore new avenues—based on what Maxwell may now choose to disclose.
Maxwell began serving her federal sentence in 2022 after being convicted of helping Epstein recruit and exploit underage girls, The Post Millennial reports.
Despite her conviction, numerous Epstein associates have never faced charges.
Some members of Congress have called for her public testimony, and she is reportedly pursuing a new trial.
The DOJ maintains that there is no legal justification to reopen her case.
Court records show that Maxwell’s crimes included grooming and recruiting vulnerable girls—some as young as 14—for abuse between 1994 and 2004.
Prosecutors detailed how she cultivated trust by posing as a mentor, offering gifts and support, before introducing the victims to Epstein.
She was allegedly present for, and at times participated in, acts of abuse in residences across the U.S. and U.K.
At sentencing, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said, “Today’s sentence holds Ghislaine Maxwell accountable for perpetrating heinous crimes against children. This sentence sends a strong message that no one is above the law and it is never too late for justice.”
Earlier this year, criticism followed the FBI’s memo asserting that there were no further Epstein-related files to disclose.
The backlash intensified after public remarks from FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who reiterated that Epstein’s death was a suicide—an explanation still widely questioned.
President Trump previously vowed to release all records tied to Epstein.
Bondi echoed that promise, saying the documents were under review. Until this latest development, there had been no public updates on the investigation.
The department’s renewed push may signal a broader attempt to uncover additional culpability—depending on Maxwell’s willingness to talk.
