Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is expected to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday, after Congress issued a subpoena to the long-time associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
“[If] Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” Blanche said earlier this week.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in facilitating Epstein’s abuse.
What To Know
- There have been increasing demands, from both sides of the aisle and many of President Donald Trump’s key MAGA supporters, to release the Epstein files.
- Trump had campaigned on releasing the documents surrounding the disgraced financier’s case in full. But earlier this month, the DOJ and FBI said there is no evidence of a so-called “client list” or attempts by Epstein to blackmail public figures, and that Epstein’s death by suicide was confirmed in government inquiries.
- On Wednesday, James Comer, chairman for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, on Wednesday issued a subpoena for Maxwell.
- Maxwell’s attorney has said that if she agrees to testify in front of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee she would do so “truthfully.”
- The surprising move from the Republican came even as Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to prevent a House vote on releasing the files.
