An attorney representing Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday said his client, a known associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, answered every question that the Justice Department asked her without invoking the Fifth Amendment.
The meeting took place at the low-security federal prison in Florida, where Maxwell is currently incarcerated. She is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted the meeting, which was teased on Tuesday, and comes as the Trump administration faces backlash for shutting down investigations into Epstein despite lingering questions about a supposed client list.
“Ms. Maxwell answered every single question,” attorney David Oscar Markus told reporters after the meeting. “She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability.”
It is not clear what topics she discussed in the meeting.
Markus also stated that the meeting occurred without a commitment on reducing Maxwell’s sentence or receiving a pardon, so she was only answering questions for the time being.
