As the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring becomes a bigger story by the day, the DOJ Number 2 official, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, headed down to Florida to meet in person with the convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s long-time ‘partner-in-crime’.
After a 5-hour questioning marathon yesterday (24), today the official met with the disgraced British socialite for the second time in the US Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee, Florida.
Maxwell’s attorney David Markus told the press after this second day of interviews that his client answered questions about ‘a hundred people’.
Daily Mail reported:
“Ghislaine Maxwell was spotted [yesterday] returning to prison with a box of materials after she was grilled by Donald Trump’s Department of Justice over her association with former lover Jeffrey Epstein.
[…] She apparently also brought some personal effects, as she was spotted returning to prison in Tallahassee, Florida with a box of materials as she re-entered prison.”
David Markus, attorney for Maxwell, said she answered every question.
“‘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.'”
As he left for Scotland, US President Donald J. Trump spoke to the press, and had to endure the usual grilling over Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
NBC News reported:
“Trump didn’t seem to rule out the possibility of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence in prison after being convicted of sex trafficking charges for recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. ‘I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about’, Trump told reporters outside the White House this morning before leaving for a trip to Scotland.”
Maxwell’s attorney Markus said ahead of a second day of interviews with the Justice Department that his client ‘has been treated very unfairly’.
“‘She literally answered every question’, he said. ‘She was asked about maybe about 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody and she didn’t hold anything back’.”
