Ghislaine Maxwell gives Trump DOJ info on ‘100 different people’ linked to Epstein, attorney says

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.”

US House Oversight Committee Subpoenas Epstein’s Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell – Disgraced British Socialite and Convicted Sex Trafficker Will Be Deposed on August 11

Maxwell is back in the spotlight.

From the obscurity of her FCI Tallahassee, Florida cell, to the screens of the US Capitol in DC, Ghislaine Maxwell is again the talk of the town.

She was born into a life of privilege and tragedies. The youngest daughter of Czech-British media mogul (and alleged intelligence asset) Robert Maxwell, she saw her life crumble after his father ‘fell from the boat’ and a scandal broke regarding the fact that Maxwell was stealing from the pension funds of his employees.

She fled Britain and the scandals, and ended up with her Jay Gatsby from hell, the ‘financier’ Jeffrey Epstein, coincidentally also rumored to be an intelligence asset.

CBS News reported:

“The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, to sit for a deposition as fallout over the Trump administration’s handling of the case intensifies.

‘The facts and circumstances surrounding both your and Mr. Epstein’s cases have received immense public interest and scrutiny’, Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the chairman of the committee, wrote to Maxwell.

Comer said the committee is seeking Maxwell’s testimony “to inform the consideration of potential legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations.”

What Ghislaine Maxwell really knows — and why she could finally spill all on Jeffrey Epstein: sources

Ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell will try to cut a deal with federal authorities during a jailhouse meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, sources told The Post.

Blanche said Tuesday he plans to meet with the convicted madam, currently serving a 20-year sentence in Florida for sex-trafficking young women for her former boss, notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“She’s going to make a deal,” said Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer and law professor who was pals with, and previously represented, Epstein, who died in federal custody in August 2019.

“That’s the way things are done. They make deals with the Mafia, so I’m certain they are going to try to make a deal with her.”

A separate legal expert explained that meeting with Blanche presents an opportunity for Maxwell to potentially lessen her sentence or get out of prison in exchange for spilling secrets about her and Epstein’s life, which she has closely guarded since his death.

Dershowitz has referred to Maxwell, 63, as the “Rosetta Stone” of information about Epstein, and told The Post Tuesday “she knows everything — not just about the perpetrators but the victims. And she knows about the victims who became perpetrators.”

Some of Epstein’s victims — who number over 1,000 in total, according to the Department of Justice — were groomed to recruit other young women, according to court papers.

DOJ Announces Imminent Meeting With Ghislaine Maxwell

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Tuesday morning that the Department of Justice is to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘madam’ who has expressed a desire to talk about the so called ‘client list’.

“This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced in a statement shard by Bondi.

He added, “The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

Blanche added that “President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.”

“Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now,” Blanche further urged.

Maxwell, currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for sexually trafficking and abusing underage girls, is the only person who has been held accountable for Epstein’s crimes.

The handling of the Epstein case by Trump’s DOJ has been nothing less than farcical, with accusations of a whitewash leading to internal fallouts and calls for Bondi to go.

It has allowed Democrats to seize on the saga for their own political agenda.

The lack of transparency and action has also left a vacuum for all manner of bullshit to be stirred up.

Many who have been following the entire debacle are unimpressed with the DOJ’s latest announcement.

Ghislaine Maxwell believed Trump would save her, now she’s documenting everything behind bars: jail source

Behind the razor wire of her rundown Florida federal prison, Ghislaine Maxwell was always clinging to the hope that when Donald Trump was back in the White House, he’d set her free, a jailhouse source told The Post.

The disgraced British socialite — called “Max” by her fellow inmates — is still waiting.

Maxwell, 63, was convicted in 2021 for recruiting and grooming underage girls for billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019. She has served three years of a 20-year sentence.

“Max was very into her appeal,” the source at FCI Tallahassee said. “That was the biggest thing that was always happening.

“Before, she would tell everybody that she was waiting for Donald Trump to be reelected and become president, that things were going to be different then.

“Max was quite confident that things were going to change with her case.

“Freedom is 100% her focus,” the source added. “She says, ‘I will not be here in 20 years.’”

Since Trump’s election victory, the convicted sex trafficker’s legal team has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. But Trump’s Justice Department this week defended prosecuting Maxwell, saying she was wrong to claim she was protected by the baffling sweetheart plea deal Epstein struck with the Florida feds in 2007.

Ian Maxwell, Ghislaine’s brother, believes the feds’ opposition is a positive development.

“It signals that they are in trouble and that Ghislaine’s case is legitimate,” he told Daily Mail.

Trump has backed Attorney General Pam Bondi, and demanded transparency about the Epstein case. On Friday, the Trump administration asked a Manhattan federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts in the cases against Epstein and Maxwell.

Former Israeli Intel Official Claims Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell Worked for Israel

Since the apparent death by suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan prison, much has come to light about his depraved activities and methods used to sexually abuse underage girls and entrap the rich and powerful for the purposes of blackmail. Epstein’s ties to intelligence, described in-depth in a recent MintPress investigative series, have continued to receive minimal mainstream media coverage, which has essentially moved on from the Epstein scandal despite the fact that his many co-conspirators remain on the loose.

For those who have examined Epstein’s ties to intelligence, there are clear links to both U.S. intelligence and Israeli intelligence, leaving it somewhat open to debate as to which country’s intelligence apparatus was closest to Epstein and most involved in his blackmail/sex-trafficking activities. A recent interview given by a former high-ranking official in Israeli military intelligence has claimed that Epstein’s sexual blackmail enterprise was an Israel intelligence operation run for the purpose of entrapping powerful individuals and politicians in the United States and abroad.

In an interview with Zev Shalev, former CBS News executive producer and award-winning investigative journalist for Narativ, the former senior executive for Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence, Ari Ben-Menashe, claimed not only to have met Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, back in the 1980s, but that both Epstein and Maxwell were already working with Israeli intelligence during that time period.

DOJ under Trump urges SCOTUS not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in filing: report

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in a Department of Justice filing. 

Maxwell’s lawyers stated that she should not have been put on trial due to the plea deal that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein got in 2008 from prosecutors in Florida.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s DOJ responded to Maxwell’s lawyers’ filing Monday and urged the Supreme Court not to take up her case, according to an exclusive report from the Daily Mail.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking and an array of other charges in connection with her procurement of minors for Epstein’s indulgence.

She said she was willing to testify before Congress about the Epstein files, sources told The Daily Mail. 

The Trump administration has received significant backlash from conservative influencers and journalists over his handling of the Epstein files.

REPORT: Ghislaine Maxwell Ready to Testify Before Congress — Could Blow Lid Off Epstein Files and Elite Pedophile Network

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly ready and willing to testify before the U.S. Congress about the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire — and the powerful men who participated in it.

According to a Daily Mail report, Maxwell, 63, has not been offered a plea deal, nor has she been contacted by any U.S. officials about providing testimony — something she would reportedly “welcome.”

“She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” a source close to Maxwell told the news outlet.

“No one from the government has ever asked her. She remains the only person jailed in connection to Epstein and would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.”

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Tallahassee State Prison in Florida, for her role in grooming and trafficking underage girls for Epstein and his network of high-powered friends, which included billionaires, politicians, academics, and royalty. Yet to date, not a single Epstein “client” has been charged.

Earlier this year, Ghislaine Maxwell asked the US Supreme Court to hear her appeal against a 2021 conviction on five counts of aiding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his sexual abuse of young girls.

DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no “client list,” committed suicide

President Trump‘s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.

  • The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and “enhanced” versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.
  • The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein committed suicide, the two-page memo claims.

Why it matters: The findings represent the first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein’s activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI’s top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.

  • As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI’s director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.
  • Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein committed suicide. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.
  • The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. (Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.)

Canadian Liberal PM Mark Carney Under Fire for Resurfaced Ties to Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew

Labour leader and Canadian Prime Minister has entered a troubling phase in his new political career.

Since the Former Bank of England head dissolved the Parliament and called snap elections, it’s one scandal after another.

Mere days after Carney was accused of plagiarizing his doctoral thesis in Oxford University, he is now getting heckled over his links to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Economic Times reported:

“During a campaign event, Prime Minister Mark Carney was interrupted by a heckler who shouted, ‘How many kids did you molest with Jeffrey Epstein?’ The question left Carney visibly stunned. Security swiftly removed the heckler, but a video of the moment soon went viral.”

This comes as a picture has surfaced of Carney with Ghislaine Maxwell in a music festival back in 2013.

Needless to say, a picture with Maxwell does not a sex-trafficker make – but citizens have started digging on Carney’s history.
