Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from Justice Department officials about “100 different people” linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of questioning led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
David Oscar Marcus told reporters that his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021 was “asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything.”
“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Marcus added. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person whose answering those questions.”
Maxwell, 63, is appealing her conviction and sentencing, and legal observers have speculated her willingness to answer questions is tied to a potential clemency grant by President Trump.
Trump, 79, acknowledged to reporters earlier Friday that he had the power to pardon Maxwell or commute her sentence, but added that “I haven’t thought” about the idea.
