Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of notorious pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, has reportedly been questioned by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding approximately 100 individuals potentially linked to Epstein’s trafficking network, ABC News revealed. The DOJ has yet to publicly disclose any new findings from the session.
Currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in trafficking minors, Maxwell was granted limited immunity in order to cooperate with the Department during nearly nine hours of questioning earlier this week, ABC reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The immunity deal ensured that Maxwell’s statements to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche could not be used against her in future proceedings.
“She was asked about maybe 100 different people,” said her attorney, David Markus, in a statement to ABC News on Friday.
When asked whether Maxwell had named additional alleged collaborators in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, Markus responded: “We haven’t requested anything. This isn’t a case of offering testimony in exchange for a deal.”
He declined to go into detail, saying, “We’re not discussing the content of the questions.”
Deputy Attorney General Blanche later posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the DOJ would release further information about the questioning “when the time is right.”
