FLORIDA (TNND) — Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will continue his interview with Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, on Friday as the Department of Justice (DOJ) seeks to release grand jury transcripts from the case against the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.

"Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow," Blanche announced on X. "The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time."

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

The meetings come after the DOJ refused to release additional records in the Epstein investigation and faced backlash for a July 6 memo concluding that Epstein killed himself in prison and didn't have a client list.

Soon after, President Donald Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury testimony from the case.

A federal judge in Florida was the first to deny a request from the Trump administration to unseal the grand jury transcripts, according to a public order. The request was one of three made by the DOJ to judges in New York and Florida, citing "extensive public interest" and "transparency to the American public."

In a social media post Tuesday, Blanche said that Trump “has told us to release all credible evidence” and that if Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the Justice Department “will hear what she has to say.”

Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee that she answered every single question on Thursday.

"She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer," Markus said. "She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability."

Markus said his team was “thankful” the deputy attorney general came to question Maxwell, calling it a “good day.”

Asked if his client could potentially receive a pardon or see her prison term reduced, Markus said: “There are no promises yet. So she’s just answering questions for now.”

As the DOJ searches for answers, the House Oversight Committee also issued a subpoena to Maxwell on Wednesday for a deposition scheduled on August 11. It will take place at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee. A subcommittee voted shortly after to subpoena the Justice Department for documents related to Epstein.

In a statement to Maxwell, Committee Chair James Comer said, “The facts and circumstances surrounding both your and Mr. Epstein’s cases have received immense public interest and scrutiny.”

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced legislation with bipartisan support that would require the Justice Department to “make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials."
