Ghislaine Maxwell Meets DOJ for Second Day in Epstein Investigation

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation, has been interviewed for a second consecutive day by top Justice Department officials in Tallahassee as part of an effort to increase transparency about the Epstein investigation. The interviews are led by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, which has sparked criticism over potential conflicts of interest given the president's personal connections to the case. Maxwell's appellate attorney described her as strong despite what he called 'inhumane' prison conditions and expressed hope that Maxwell would finally be able to reveal the full truth, which he claims can be corroborated. The Justice Department frames the interviews as an initiative ordered by President Trump, but critics highlight that Trump might have motivations to keep certain information confidential, especially since sealed Epstein records reportedly contain references to him. These developments have intensified calls for an independent investigation into the Epstein case and its broader implications. The White House has not denied reports about the president's mention in the sealed documents.
