Experts raise questions about the DoJ’s interview with the Epstein associate that left questions remaining
A
s deputy US attorney Todd Blanche announced last week that the justice department would release transcripts of his interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, he described this disclosure as being “in the interest of transparency”.
“Except for the names of victims, every word is included. Nothing removed. Nothing hidden,” Blanche also said of his two-day sit down with Maxwell, who was convicted sex trafficking in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of teenage girls.
That same day, James Comer, the House oversight committee chair, said that the justice department had sent a large tranche of Epstein investigative documents in response to a congressional subpoena. Comer praised justice officials and Donald Trump, saying: “The Trump DoJ is moving at a pace far faster than anything ever produced by the Biden DoJ.”
