The Trump administration is considering whether to publicly release a transcript of a late-July interview between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Justice Department recorded Maxwell’s interview, which took place last month on July 24 and 25 at the U.S. attorney’s office in Tallahassee, and is now in the process of transcribing and redacting the contents for possible public disclosure, a source told the Washington Examiner. However, officials remain undecided, with one source saying a final decision has not yet been made and that internal conversations remain active as of Tuesday morning, according to CNN.
