Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, is set to meet with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche Thursday to discuss Epstein’s decadeslong abuse network, marking the first time any Justice Department official under President Donald Trump has opened direct lines of communication with her.
The private meeting, happening at the U.S. attorney’s office in Tallahassee, Florida, comes amid pressure on the Trump administration from elements of the president’s Make America Great Again base who are frustrated with the Justice Department’s July 6 memo that denied the existence of a secret “client list” and reaffirmed findings that the disgraced financier Epstein died by suicide in 2019.
