- The Justice Department plans to contact Ghislaine Maxwell to obtain additional information concerning the case of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the move, stating he expects to meet with Maxwell soon, acting under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
- Maxwell, an associate of Epstein, is serving a 20-year sentence after her 2021 conviction on charges related to her role in a scheme to abuse multiple minor girls with the deceased financier.
- This development follows the DOJ's recent memo which concluded that its review of Epstein's files did not uncover evidence of further third-party wrongdoing or a so-called “client list”.
- Maxwell's attorney confirmed discussions with the department, saying his client would testify truthfully, and motions have been filed to unseal grand jury transcripts in the Epstein and Maxwell cases.
