Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is scheduled to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, at the U.S. attorney’s office in Tallahassee, Florida, this afternoon.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein’s abuse network, has become a focal point amid renewed demands for transparency in the Epstein investigation.
The socialite and longtime partner of Epstein was convicted in 2021 on charges including sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy.
Blanche arrived at the federal courthouse in Tallahassee around 9 a.m. ET on July 24, declining to comment when approached by reporters.
Despite extensive investigations into Epstein’s activities, many details, particularly regarding potential “uncharged third parties,” have remained sealed, fueling public frustration.
The Trump administration’s handling of Epstein-related files has drawn sharp criticism from both MAGA supporters and Democrats. Earlier this month, the DOJ and FBI issued a joint statement asserting that a thorough review uncovered no evidence warranting new investigations against others, and claimed there is no “client list.”
President Trump has now publicly directed officials to “release all credible evidence,” prompting the meeting with Maxwell.
In a statement posted on X by Bondi, Blanche emphasized, “If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.”
Statement from @DAGToddBlanche:
This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was…

A House Oversight Committee subcommittee also voted to subpoena Maxwell on Wednesday.
