An attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell reveled on Friday after their client’s meeting with the Department of Justice that Maxwell gave authorities information about “100 different people” linked to infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Per the New York Post, attorney David Oscar Markus said that Maxwell was “asked about everything possible you could imagine—everything.”
He added, “This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened. The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”
He said that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had “every single question” answered by Maxwell, who declined to plead the Fifth.
“If she lies they could charge her with lying,” Marcus said at one point, to which a reporter replied, “They did charge her with lying.” Marcus noted that the two perjury counts Maxwell had been charged with were dropped by the feds after her conviction.
Maxwell’s attorney also said that they hope Trump “exercises the [pardon] power in the right and just way.” Maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex crimes. Trump was asked about the possibility on Friday after he landed in Scotland, to which he said, “I really have nothing to say about it.”
