By express order of President Trump, the United States Department of Justice announced that it will meet in the coming days with Ghislaine Maxwell, accomplice to the crimes of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and someone with firsthand knowledge of the trafficking network run by the financier.
The scoop was confirmed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who reported that her number two, Todd Blanche, current Deputy Attorney General, will meet with the convicted woman's lawyers in the coming days.

The Department of Justice's statement
"This Department of Justice doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement from DOJ and FBI on July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was drafted," part of the statement reads.
"President Trump has ordered us to disclose all credible evidence. If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against the victims, the FBI and the Department of Justice will listen to what she has to say", it continues.
"Therefore, by order of Attorney General Bondi, I have contacted Ms. Maxwell's lawyers to determine if she would be willing to speak with Department prosecutors. I expect to meet with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days," Blanche concluded.

Epstein's crimes and his clients
Epstein, who allegedly committed suicide in a New York police station cellin 2019 after being arrested and awaiting trial, sexually abused minors under 14 years old for more than a decade, according to prosecutors in the case.
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 after being charged and convicted of heinous crimes, including child sex trafficking. According to the Justice Department, Epstein could not have run his powerful child trafficking network without Maxwell's help, his partner for many years.
Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, confirmed both the contact with the government and his client's willingness and thanked President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth about this case.

Trump seeks the truth about the case
Bondi and Blanche are acting under the President's direction who, after being falsely accused by the Democratic press of having a friendship with Epstein, is doing everything possible to ensure the truth is known about this monstrous case.
Last week, the Department of Justice under the Republican requested a court to declassify the grand jury's sealed documents that formally indicted Epstein in 2019. This decision ultimately depends on the judge, although no other government has made a decision of this magnitude before.
Meanwhile, as he seeks to uncover the truth about the case, Trump is suing the Democratic press—especially the Wall Street Journal—for defaming him by linking him without evidence to the deceased pedophile.
