TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Diya TV) — Ghislaine Maxwell answered government questions about roughly 100 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein during two days of interviews with the U.S. Department of Justice, her attorney confirmed. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche questioned Maxwell behind closed doors on July 24 and 25 at the U.S. Courthouse in Tallahassee. The former British socialite, serving a 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee for her role in Epstein’s sex-trafficking scheme, did not hold back, according to her lawyer.

“She answered every question,” said David Markus, Maxwell’s Miami-based attorney. “She didn’t invoke any privileges. She didn’t decline to answer. She told the truth.”

The meetings come as the Trump administration faces growing calls to release additional information about the Epstein investigation. For years, critics and lawmakers have demanded transparency in the case, which involves a wide network of alleged co-conspirators and powerful figures.

Although no names have been officially released, Markus said the Justice Department’s questions covered “everything” and “about 100 different people.” He declined to identify who was discussed during the meetings. Maxwell’s cooperation raises new questions about whether the government will make more of its findings public and whether her testimony could impact her appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Maxwell is seeking to overturn her conviction. Her attorneys argue that a non-prosecution agreement federal prosecutors made with Epstein in 2007 should have shielded her and others from criminal charges. On July 14, the Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to reject her appeal, calling her arguments “misplaced” and “implausible.” The department said Maxwell played a central role in Epstein’s abuse of underage girls for over a decade.

The justices are expected to decide in September whether to take up her case.

The meetings between Maxwell and federal prosecutors also sparked renewed interest in President Donald Trump’s connections to Epstein. Trump and Epstein were known associates in the early 2000s, often appearing together at social events in Palm Beach and New York.

Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities and said he has never visited Epstein’s private island. When asked about Maxwell’s cooperation and a potential pardon, Trump responded, “It’s something I haven’t thought about.”

In a 2002 interview, Trump described Epstein as “a lot of fun to be with” and noted “he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Maxwell, 62, has spent the last three years at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security federal prison for women. The facility has faced scrutiny in recent years after reports of mold, rodent droppings, and staff shortages surfaced during a surprise inspection in 2023.

Despite the conditions, inmates at the prison have access to programs such as yoga, Pilates, and arts and crafts, according to the prison’s handbook. Markus said his client has nothing to hide and cooperated fully with the Justice Department. He added that Deputy Attorney General Blanche treated Maxwell with professionalism and gave her a chance to speak honestly.

“She’s got no reason to lie at this point,” Markus said. “She hopes the Justice Department hears her with an open mind.”

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on multiple charges, including conspiracy to entice and transport minors for illegal sex acts and sex trafficking of a minor. Her role in helping Epstein abuse girls as young as 14 between 1994 and 2004 was central to the prosecution’s case. She did not testify during her trial, but a 2016 civil deposition showed she denied recruiting underage girls and claimed not to have seen any abuse.

Maxwell’s recent testimony has renewed public demand for the release of investigative files and court documents in the Epstein case. A federal judge in Florida recently denied a DOJ request to unseal grand jury testimony from the 2005 and 2007 investigations into Epstein. As the case continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see if Maxwell’s cooperation will lead to further revelations—or possible relief for her legal challenges.
