WASHINGTON — US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday he intends to meet with Jeffrey Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell in “the coming days” to see if she would be willing to disclose more information to the feds about the late sex offender.
“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” Blanche said in a statement.
“I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.”
Trump himself, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, said he didn’t “know anything about” the outreach — but added that Blanche contacting Maxwell’s team “sounds appropriate.”
“I don’t really follow that too much. It’s sort of a witch hunt,” he added of the Epstein case.
The anticipated meeting comes as the Trump administration has been battling a MAGA firestorm over the late pedophile, following the release of a July 6 two-page memo that concluded Epstein killed himself in prison and didn’t have a client list.
Blanche, the second-highest-ranking official in the Justice Department, insisted that the July 6 memo “remains as accurate today as it was when it was written” despite the outreach to Maxwell’s counsel.
“No evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the deputy attorney general stressed.
Maxwell, a disgraced British socialite who was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other crimes, is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz has claimed that “she knows everything” about the pedophile’s crimes.
“She is the Rosetta Stone. She knows everything. She arranged every single trip with everybody,” Dershowitz told “Fox News Sunday.”
Multiple members of Congress have called for her to publicly testify before a committee.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee confirmed the panel “will seek to subpoena Ms. Maxwell as expeditiously as possible.”
“Since Ms. Maxwell is in federal prison, the Committee will work with the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons to identify a date when Committee can depose her,” a spokesperson told The Post.
Meanwhile, many observers have speculated that Maxwell, 63, may be angling for a presidential pardon and that she would want immunity before speaking with the feds.
Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, confirmed that they are in talks with the government.
“I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case,” Markus said in a statement.
Last week, Markus seemingly made an appeal to Trump amid a push for the Supreme Court to scrap her 2021 conviction.
“I’d be surprised if President Trump knew his lawyers were asking the Supreme Court to let the government break a deal,” Markus said at the time. “He’s the ultimate dealmaker — and I’m sure he’d agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it.
“It’s especially unfair that Ghislaine Maxwell remains in prison based on a promise the US government made and broke.”
Maxwell’s team has long argued that the 2008 non-prosecution and plea agreement with the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida shielded her from prosecution.
Meanwhile, in Congress, a bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) have championed legislation to force the release of the Epstein files with a few carveouts to protect victims.
GOP leadership has resisted that legislative push. Massie and Khanna are trying to bypass leadership via a discharge petition, but due to procedural rules and the House’s current schedule, they will not be able to force a vote until after the August recess.
This effort has come against a backdrop of a MAGA-world revolt in the wake of the July 6 memo, demanding the release of the government’s files on Epstein. Democrats have backed that push, partly motivated by a desire to exploit a rare rift between Trump and his base.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi has also announced plans to request that the courts release grand jury testimony related to Epstein.
