Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for her role in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, appeared to cooperate during the meeting, answering questions truthfully according to her attorney.Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence and is currently appealing her conviction, although the Justice Department opposes the appeal.
Blanche’s meeting with Maxwell aims to uncover additional information about possible other perpetrators who might have committed crimes against victims, beyond what is already known. the investigation is part of a broader effort by the Justice Department to release more information about Epstein’s activities, amid public demand for transparency. Despite a previous statement denying the existence of Epstein’s client list, pressure has increased for further disclosures.
Maxwell was seen returning to prison carrying a mysterious box after the meeting. Blanche has indicated that discussions with Maxwell will continue, and more details will be announced when appropriate. The Justice Department continues to seek the release of grand jury transcripts related to Epstein and Maxwell’s cases, even though some requests have been denied by courts.
Ghislaine Maxwell appeared to get something out of her meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday, but it was unclear exactly what that might be.
Maxwell and Blanche met in a Tallahassee, Florida, courthouse as part of the Justice Department’s hunt for information related to the late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. Maxwell, his associate, was convicted in 2021 of partnering in a sex trafficking operation with Epstein.
As Maxwell returned to the federal prison where she is serving her 20-year sentence, she was spotted carrying a white bin, according to the New York Post.
The outlet noted that after Maxwell was uncuffed and allowed to enter the prison, she carried what the Post called the “mysterious box” with her.
Maxwell and Blanche spoke for about five hours, according to The Washington Post.
David Oscar Markus, an attorney who represents Maxwell, did not reveal the substance of any questions or answers.
Blanche “took a full day and asked a lot of questions,” Markus said.
“She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability,” he added.
“Looking forward to another productive day tomorrow. Ghislaine honestly answered every question,” Markus posted on X. “And she will continue to do so. We are grateful that the government is trying to uncover the truth. They have never before spoken with her and we trust the process.”

Blanche has said that he wanted to meet with Maxwell to discuss whether there was anyone else “who has committed crimes against victims.”
Maxwell is appealing her conviction, an effort that is currently opposed by the Justice Department.
Blanche’s mission is more opaque, and is part of a Justice Department quest to release information about Epstein other than the files in the Justice Department’s possession. Blanche indicated that he and Maxwell will talk on Friday.
“Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche posted on X.

A terse statement earlier this month from the Justice Department said that the long-awaited Epstein client list did not exist and that no more information on him would be forthcoming.
The statement provoked an intense backlash among President Donald Trump’s supporters, leading the administration to cast about for ways to satisfy the call for more disclosure.
The Justice Department has sought the release of grand jury transcripts in proceedings related to Epstein and Maxwell. Its efforts to have transcripts from grand juries in Florida that heard evidence against Epstein in 2005 and 2007 have been turned down. Efforts to secure grand jury transcripts from the 2019 case against Epstein and Maxwell’s more recent trial continue.
