Imprisoned longtime associate of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is seeking to overturn her criminal conviction

Deputy US attorney general Todd Blanche is due to have a second in-person meeting on Friday with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche had confirmed the two met behind closed doors in Tallahassee, Florida, on Thursday, at the federal prosecutor’s office within the federal courthouse in the state capital.

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, speaking separately after Thursday’s meeting, said: “We had a very productive day today with the deputy attorney general Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Images captured by ABC News on Thursday showed Blanche and his entourage, including acting associate deputy attorney general Diego Pestana, entering the US attorney’s office.
