Deputy AG Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell had 'very productive' meeting in Florida: attorney

Ghislaine Maxwell and US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had a "very productive day," Maxwell’s attorney said, after the DOJ official traveled to Florida to meet with infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice, who is currently serving a 20-year prison term in Tallahassee for sex trafficking charges.

David Oscar Markus said of the meeting, "[Blanche] took a full day and asked a lot of questions. Miss 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," per Fox News.

Maxwell’s brother, Ian, told the outlet that she is reportedly compiling evidence related to her 2021 trial over alleged government misconduct. "Clearly, we must now see how this plays out," he said.

Ian Maxwell told reporters, "She will be putting before that court material new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome."

This comes as the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Maxwell. A deposition is set to take place on August 11 at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee.

The Department of Justice said, leading up to Thursday's meeting, that they would want to meet with Maxwell if she had "information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims."

"This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," said Bondi in a statement. "The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
