High-Stakes Meeting: Deputy AG Todd Blanche Grills Ghislaine Maxwell, Congress Demands Testimony
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday, July 24, 2025, in Tallahassee, Florida, sources familiar with the matter revealed. The high-profile meeting, held at the U.S. attorney’s office within the federal courthouse, comes as the Justice Department seeks any credible evidence Maxwell may possess regarding crimes against victims, following a directive from President Trump.
Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and other charges since her 2022 conviction, was met by Blanche who declined to comment upon arrival. Maxwell’s appellate lawyer, David O. Markus, expressed optimism, stating, “We’re looking forward to a productive day,” and reiterated earlier assurances that “Ghislaine will always testify truthfully.”
The meeting also precedes a significant development from Capitol Hill: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a subpoena for Maxwell to provide a deposition at the prison on August 11. Comer cited immense public interest and scrutiny surrounding both Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s cases as the reason for the congressional demand for testimony.
