The US Ministry of Justice is trying to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell, a former collaborator of Jeffrey Epstein, who performs a 20 -year -old sentence to help his sexual abuse of minors. Representative of the Prosecutor General Todd Blanche confirmed its development on Tuesday, July 22, which signaled the potential new phase in the long -term investigation of Epstein.
“If Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, FBI and hears what he has to say,” Blanche said in an X post, formerly Twitter. He added: “President Donald Trump told us to publish all trusted evidence.”
Do you get under pressure to act
This step comes in the middle of the reinforcement of the criticism of the general prosecutor Pam Bondi, who was charged with the fact that after his death in 2019 after his death in Epstein’s investigation sufficiently, he officially decided suicide. On July 18, Bondi submitted a court request to publish evidence of a large jury concerning the case.
“The Americans deserve the full truth about how Epstein has been able to abuse so many girls for so long,” Rep. Tim Burchett, a long -time critic of manipulating the matter. “This deposition will help Americans understand how Jeffrey Epstein has managed to do his evil deeds without being brought to justice.”
Trump is facing a political sleep
The Epstein case reappeared as a political problem for President Trump, whose administration had previously promised a “bomber revelation” before she declared a closed matter. Trump’s base continued pressure to reach more information, including the names of Epstein’s alleged clients – the general prosecutor of the Bondi list takes “does not exist”.
Despite the MEMO at the beginning of this month, stating that there was “no evidence that would charge anyone else”, Blanche’s public notes indicate that prosecutors are willing to re -inspect the matter. “The Ministry of Justice does not avoid unpleasant truths or responsibility for devoting justice, wherever they can lead the facts,” he said.
Maxwell Lawyer confirms ongoing interviews
AND Lawyer for Maxwell, David Oscar Markus, confirmed that there are discussions with the government. “I can confirm that we are discussing with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,” Markus said. “We are grateful to President Trump for his determination to reveal the truth in this case.”
Maxwell, now 63, was convicted in 2021 and performs its sentence in a federal device in Tallahassee, Florida. In 2037 it is scheduled for edition.
Judges require justification for record -breaking
Judge Paul Engelmayer and Richard Berman, who review the request to release the Grand Jury transcripts, said on Tuesday that the ministry has not yet provided enough information that would guarantee records.
By July 29, they gave prosecutors to justify the application and outline what information was already published. Epstein’s victims and Maxwell herself must submit his views on August 5 on whether the records should be published.
Epstein case
Epstein’s death in 2019 in New York, while waiting for a court of trading fees, continued to cause suspicion and outrage. Memo 7 July confirmed the official decision of suicide, but failed to criticize from Congress and the public.
