Ghislaine Maxwell given ‘limited immunity’ in meetings with deputy attorney general: reports

The so-called proffer immunity is commonly granted to those who prosecutors are seeking cooperation from in a criminal case. Maxwell was tried, convicted and sentenced in 2022 over her role in Epstein’s scheme to abuse underage girls.

Such an agreement allowed Maxwell to answer questions from Blanche – which her attorneys claimed she did “fully”.

Her responses to those questions would not be able to be used against her at a later stage, the sources added.

Maxwell, who is serving her 20-year sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, spent a total of nine hours speaking to Blanche about the Epstein case on Thursday and Friday.

According to her attorney, David Oscar Markus, Maxwell was “asked about 100 different people” during her interview and answered “every single question asked of her over the last day and a half.”

“She answered those questions honestly, truthfully, to the best of her ability,” Markus, said. “She was asked about maybe about 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody and she didn't hold anything back."

“She never invoked a privilege. She never refused to answer a question. So we’re very proud of her.”

Blanche was interviewing Maxwell at a federal courthouse in Tallahassee to discuss others who may have “committed crimes against victims.”

The DOJ has enlisted her help as the fallout continues over the so-called “Epstein files.” Epstein died by suicide while awaiting his own trial for sex-trafficking in 2019.

Though President Donald Trump previously promised to release all information related to the Epstein files, the president has come under fire after representatives on both sides of the political aisle, and even his own stalwart MAGA support base, have criticized the handling of the situation by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bondi has shut down rumors about a so-called “client list” of high-profile individuals who may have participated in alleged crimes that Epstein committed, with the DOJ and FBI releasing a memo earlier this month saying no such list existed.

Recent reports from CNN and The Wall Street Journal also claimed Bondi alerted Trump, in early spring, that his name appeared in the Epstein files. Being mentioned in the files does not suggest any wrongdoing, and hundreds of other people were also named. The president has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Trump has blasted those continuing to obsess over the files and his alleged involvement in its release, blaming the issue on “Radical Left Democrats” and claiming that the whole thing is a “SCAM.”
