Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell moved to new prison amid fight over answers, immunity

The Justice Department released hours of interviews between a top federal prosecutor and Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person convicted of or held civilly liable for a role in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sat down with Maxwell in a federal prison in Tallahassee, where she was being held until recently. The terms of the interview granted her limited immunity from further prosecution – unless she told lies.

Authorities published hundreds of pages of transcripts as well as audio recordings of the interview on the DOJ website.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted at trial in 2021 of helping Epstein traffic teen girls. She has an ongoing appeal and has signaled that she is willing to sit for interviews with both federal prosecutors and Congress.

Epstein died in a federal jail cell in 2019 before he faced trial himself. His official cause of death has been ruled a suicide, a conclusion rejected by his brother.

The release came with little warning, days after federal judges denied the DOJ’s requests to unseal of grand jury materials from both Maxwell and Epstein’s criminal cases.
