Epstein’s former lawyer: Ghislaine Maxwell should get immunity in exchange for secrets

U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has wrapped up his discussions with Ghislaine Maxwell after two days of talks related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s long-standing sex crimes.

“Over the past day and a half, Ghislaine responded to every question posed,” her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, stated to journalists outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee on Friday. “She provided answers honestly, truthfully, and to the best of her knowledge. She didn’t invoke any privilege or decline to answer any questions.”

Markus went on to praise his client, telling reporters her legal team is “very proud of her,” before turning to the case against Maxwell. 

Markus added, “I must say, she has been treated unjustly over the last five years. Her trial was not fair. We are appealing to the Supreme Court. It’s important to remember that questioning her honesty is, in my opinion, completely unfounded.”

The DOJ did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Earlier this week, a federal judge in Florida denied the Trump administration’s request to unseal transcripts from grand jury investigations pertaining to Epstein. 

A similar request from Maxwell was also denied, with the judge saying it was a “black-letter law” that defendants are unable to access grand jury information. 

Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi told “America Reports” host John Roberts that she was in possession of Epstein’s “client list.”

In 2008, Epstein reached a deal with prosecutors to avoid more serious charges by pleading guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. One month after his arrest, the disgraced financier was found dead in his New York City jail cell in what authorities ruled a suicide. 

Maxwell’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Maxwell is set to testify in front of Congress on Aug. 11.
