Markus told ABC News, “She answered every single question asked of her over the last day and a half.” He added, “She answered those questions honestly, truthfully, to the best of her ability.”
According to Markus, Maxwell “never invoked a privilege” or “refused to answer a question,” and the defense team expressed pride in her full cooperation.
Blanche conducted the interviews at a federal courthouse in Tallahassee. The discussions aimed to uncover information about other individuals who may have committed crimes against victims linked to the Epstein case.
The DOJ’s renewed efforts come amid ongoing fallout related to the so-called “Epstein files,” which allegedly contain details about Epstein’s associates. Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
President Donald Trump had previously promised to release all information related to the Epstein files. However, his handling of the situation has been criticized by members of both political parties, as well as some within his own MAGA support base.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has addressed rumors about the existence of a “client list” naming high-profile individuals involved in Epstein’s crimes. Earlier this month, the DOJ and FBI issued a memo stating that no such list exists.
