Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell Was Asked 'About 100 Different People' And 'Didn't Hold Anything Back,' Her Attorney Says

The lawyer of Ghislaine Maxwell, former associate of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, said she was asked "maybe about 100 different people" when talking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and she "didn't hold anything back."

"They asked about every single, every possible thing you could imagine — everything," said David Oscar Markus on Friday. Blanche, on his end, said the DOJ would share information "at the appropriate time."

Markus also expressed openness to receiving a pardon from Trump after the second day of questioning. Prior to the interview with Maxwell, Blanche released a statement saying that the DOJ was looking for "information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims."

He then addressed press, saying "we haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet. The president this morning said he had the power to do so. We hope he exercises that power in a right and just way," Markus told reporters outside, a reference to a statement from Trump who said he hadn't thought about it but did have the power to pardon her.

Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking charges in 2021 after helping groom Epstein's victims. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison months later. She is currently trying to appeal her case.

The Epstein associate returned to the spotlight after continued pressure on the Trump administration to release the files amid backlash over a memo by the DOJ and FBI declaring that Epstein killed himself and had no client list.

As Trump officials turn to Maxwell for potential new leads in the case, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer subpoenaed her on Wednesday for a deposition at a Florida prison.

Meanwhile, Democrats have called for Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to testify before lawmakers, seeking more transparency with the memo's findings.
