The Justice Department (DOJ) has offered Ghislaine Maxwell, a known associate of Jeffrey Epstein, limited immunity prior to her two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to a report by ABC News on Friday.

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for charges including sex trafficking, participated in this interview amidst growing demands from the Trump administration’s supporters to disclose further information related to Epstein, a figure surrounded by various conspiracy theories.

The Hill has contacted the Department of Justice for comment.

Maxwell’s attorney and the DOJ have been coy about the content of the interviews.

“This interview conducted by the Deputy Attorney General was thorough and comprehensive. No individual or subject was considered off-limits. We greatly appreciate this opportunity. The truth will eventually emerge,” stated Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, in a comment to NewsNation on Friday.

Blanche, meanwhile, said the department would share more information “at the appropriate time.” He and Maxwell spoke for a total of nine hours over two days.

ABC reported that the immunity Maxwell was granted is often granted in order to help individuals cooperate with a criminal case. 

Markus said Friday that he had not spoken to the White House about a presidential pardon for Maxwell. When asked about the possibility, President Trump said that he was “allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about.”

Maxwell is appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court, a move that the DOJ has opposed. She is also currently facing a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee.

Her meeting with Blanche has raised eyebrows on both sides of the aisle. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday that he was skeptical if Maxwell would be willing to tell the truth, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the meeting “stinks of high corruption.”
