The News
Ghislaine Maxwell is meeting with the Department of Justice again today for a second time this week.
Writing on X, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that he would meet with the imprisoned accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who, according to a memo released this month by the DOJ and the FBI, died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Maxwell and Blanche will meet to continue their discussions about the Epstein case.
Why Is Ghislaine Maxwell meeting DOJ Officials?
Blanche said on X that Maxwell may have crucial evidence important for their investigations into Epstein and so it would be useful to speak with her.
What Has Been Said About Today's Meeting?

Timeline
What Happened in the First Maxwell Meeting?
The details of what was discussed in the meeting are not yet known. However, speaking to reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida, Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus said Maxwell "answered every single question" that was asked of her.
Blanche posted on X just after 7 p.m. Thursday, "Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time."
Reactions
He said: "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."
"She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability," he said.
What's Next
Meanwhile, Maxwell will continue interacting with the state as the House Committee on Oversight issued a subpoena Wednesday compelling Maxwell to testify before committee officials in August.

The meeting comes as the Trump administration fights to silence critics over apparent backtracking on the case involving Epstein.
Initially, the White House had ordered a review of the case and said it would publish names and evidence about Epstein's associates. However, the DOJ-FBI memo said there was no "client list" and that no further charges would be brought. This triggered a backlash among those who had called for more transparency about the case.
Trump then called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "whatever she thinks is credible" regarding the case and asked the Justice Department to release grand jury testimony about Epstein.
What Is Ghislaine Maxwell in Prison For?
Maxwell is serving 20 years in federal prison for her role as Epstein's accomplice in his sex trafficking operation. She is appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.
