Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned accomplice of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, began meeting with top Department of Justice official Todd Blanche on Thursday in a Florida courthouse, NBC News reported.
The sit-down comes two days after Blanche said he intended to meet with Maxwell to ask her what she knew about potentially other people who sexually abused girls and young women connected to Epstein.
Blanche, who is the deputy attorney general, is meeting with Maxwell and her attorneys in a conference room inside the U.S. attorney’s office in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee, NBC reported, citing a senior law enforcement official.
The meeting is expected to last all day.
The Trump administration continues to face strong pressure to release evidence related to Epstein’s crimes, weeks after the DOJ said it would withhold information in the Epstein files despite prior promises that they would be made public.
