Any attempt from the Justice Department to pressure Ghislaine Maxwell to tell them what she knows about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes will have to contend with a tricky fact: The Supreme Court could soon overturn her entire conviction and set her free without her needing to cut any new deals with prosecutors.
DOJ officials are meeting with Maxwell Thursday, after Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the department to seek out more information from her about Epstein and his potential accomplices. “If Ghislane [sic] Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement earlier this week.
That decision came after days of outcry over the Trump administration’s decision not to release the so-called “Epstein files,” and a steady drumbeat of reports about President Donald Trump’s former relationship with Epstein.
