Notorious\u00a0sex\u00a0criminal\u00a0Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a>\u00a0answered questions from Justice Department officials about \u201c100 different people\u201d linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of\u00a0interrogation\u00a0led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.<\/p>\n

David Oscar\u00a0Markus\u00a0told reporters that his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted\u00a0in Manhattan\u00a0of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021,\u00a0was \u201casked about every possible thing you could imagine \u2013 everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the first opportunity she\u2019s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,\u201d\u00a0Markus\u00a0added. \u201cThe truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she\u2019s the person\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0answering those questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"GhislaineGhislaine Maxwell was interviewed by DOJ officials on Friday, and gave information on about \u2018100 different people\u2019 who were linked to Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Blanche had\u00a0\u201cevery single question\u201d answered during the sitdown, Maxwell\u2019s attorney also said, with the British-born convict declining to plead the Fifth Amendment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she lies they could charge her with lying,\u201d Markus noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did charge her with lying,\u201d a reporter challenged him, referring to two perjury counts that Markus noted were dropped by the feds after her conviction.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is above the law \u2014 and no lead is off-limits,\u201d Blanche\u00a0posted on X<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday in announcing he would speak with Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Maxwell, 63, is appealing her conviction and sentencing, and legal observers have speculated her willingness to answer questions is tied to a potential clemency grant by President Trump.<\/p>\n

Her attorney described the commander in chief Friday as\u00a0\u201cthe ultimate dealmaker\u201d and claimed his client had \u201cbeen treated unfairly for the past five years\u201d and \u201cdidn\u2019t get a fair trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope he exercises that power in a right and just way,\u201d Markus added.<\/p>\n

Trump, 79, told reporters after landing in Glasgow, Scotland that \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about the conversation\u201d between Blanche and Maxwell because \u201cI haven\u2019t really been following it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is no time to be talking about pardons,\u201d the president added after saying hours earlier while leaving the White House that\u00a0\u201cI haven\u2019t thought\u201d about the idea.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the Department of Justice expressed doubts that Maxwell could be truthful, writing in court filings that she displayed a \u201csignificant pattern of dishonest conduct\u201d and failed to take responsibility for her heinous crimes.<\/p>\n

Court papers the prior year revealed that prosecutors never seriously entertained the prospect of offering the women dubbed \u201cEpstein\u2019s madam\u201d a plea agreement after the financier was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting his own federal trial on Aug. 10, 2019.<\/p>\n

According to Markus,\u00a0Epstein\u2019s attorneys had been informed that\u00a0\u201cno potential co-conspirators would be prosecuted\u201d as part of his talks with government lawyers following his July 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think President Trump knows that the Justice Department took the position that that promise should not be upheld,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi teased a full disclosure of federal investigatory files on Epstein during a Fox News interview \u2014 including a purported \u201cclient list\u201d of high-powered associates \u2014 but no such reveal came.<\/p>\n

On July 6, the DOJ and FBI put out a two-page memo disclosing that there was \u201cno credible evidence\u201d that 66-year-old had a \u201cclient list\u201d or\u00a0 \u201cblackmailed prominent individuals\u201d in his sickening sexual exploitation of girls \u2014 some as young as 14 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,\u201d the memo also stated.<\/p>\n

Epstein counted influential politicians and businessmen as his associates \u2014 including former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Trump.<\/p>\n

The 47th president had a falling out with Epstein in 2004 \u2014 and reportedly later banned him from Mar-a-Lago for acting inappropriately with a club member\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

A Quinnipiac University poll\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month that most Americans have disapproved of the Trump administration\u2019s \u201csystematic review\u201d of the DOJ\u2019s evidence on the Epstein case.<\/p>\n

Maxwell has also been subpoenaed to be interviewed by the House Oversight\u00a0Committee\u00a0on Aug. 11, an occasion on which Maxwell could exercise her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to questioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to make a decision about whether she would do that or not,\u201d her attorney said of the prospect of responding to lawmaker queries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Notorious\u00a0sex\u00a0criminal\u00a0Ghislaine Maxwell\u00a0answered questions from Justice Department officials about \u201c100 different people\u201d linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":92287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,69,49022,15053,15428,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,18114,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-92286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-ghislaine-maxwell","11":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","12":"tag-justice-department","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkcity","17":"tag-ny","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-sex-trafficking","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-us-news","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114915768033989127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
