Maxwell knows ‘where the bodies are buried’.
With the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring back on the news, his imprisoned former accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell became what lawyer Alan Dershowitz called the ‘Rosetta stone’, the key to a previously undecipherable mystery.
So, today (24), a top DOJ official travelled to the Florida capital, Tallahassee, for a groundbreaking interview with the disgraced British socialite.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had a five-hour conversation with Maxwell, according to her attorney, who added that she answered every question in ‘a very productive day’.
The Washington Post reported:
“The meeting in downtown Tallahassee, not far from the low-security federal prison where Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, comes as the Trump administration is trying to mitigate the political fallout over its handling of the case.
Attorney David Oscar Markus declined to tell reporters afterward what Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche asked Maxwell or how she answered. ‘He took a full day and asked a lot of questions,” Markus said. ‘She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability’.”
Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell answered “every single question” she was asked during her interview today with a top DOJ official. Her lawyer David Markus: “She never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly.”

Blanche reportedly said the meeting with Maxwell was meant to discuss anyone else ‘who has committed crimes against victims’.
“Maxwell has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her appeal of her conviction. The Justice Department, which prosecuted her, has pushed back, submitting a filing last week urging the justices to reject her request and leave her conviction intact.”
Associated Press reported:
“’Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. 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’, attorney David Oscar Markus told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, where Maxwell met with Blanche.”
Maxwell’s attorney Markus was ‘thankful’ and called it a ‘good day’.
“Asked if his client could potentially receive a pardon or see her prison term reduced, Markus said: ‘There’s no promises yet. So, she’s just answering questions for now’.”
UPDATE: Todd Blanche posts about his meeting with Maxwell, says the interview will continue tomorrow.
Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.
