Jeffrey Epstein’s partner Ghislaine Maxwell, after answering questions for six hours Thursday, will meet for a second day Friday with Deputy Prosecutor Todd Blanche.
Maxwell “hopes for another productive day” while she sits for another interview at the Tallahassee Federal Justice Palace, said her lawyer in ABC News on her way inside the Federal Justice of Justice in Tallahassee, Florida.
Blanche did not speak to journalists when he arrived. On social networks, Blanche said that he would reveal what he had learned from Maxwell “at the appropriate time”.

Sources told ABC News that Maxwell had initiated Thursday’s meeting with Blanche. Maxwell currently uses his 20 -year prison sentence for children’s sex and other offenses related to Epstein, a deceased financial and sentenced sexual offender.
“We do not want to get into the substance of questions,” said Maxwell’s lawyer David O. Markus, about Thursday’s meeting. “There were a lot of questions and we went all day and she answered each of them. She never said that I will not answer, never refused.”
He is almost unknown for a sexual trafficker sentenced to meeting such a high -end official from the Ministry of Justice, in particular the one who was the best lawyer for the president’s criminal defense.
Annie Farmer, who testified against Maxwell at the trial, asked why Maxwell had obtained a meeting with the general sub-procurer in the first place.
“It is very disappointing that these things happen in camera without any contribution from the people that the government has asked to come forward and to speak against it in order to store it,” said Farmer. “There were so many young girls and women who were injured by her.”
Maxwell’s lawyer said on Friday that she had been ill -treated in the past five years and was grateful to be able to meet Blanche when she calls her sentence for sex trafficking and seeks to leave prison.
“If you were looking for scapegoats in the dictionary, his photo would be next to the definition,” said Markus. “She keeps morale as best she can.”
The meetings of Blanche with Maxwell intervene while the Ministry of Justice tried to calm the calls of the Republicans of the Senate to disclose more information on Epstein and its interaction with large -scale figures.
And that arises as questions swirl on Trump’s connections with Epstein and reports that his name appeared in Epstein files.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump in May that his name had been mentioned in Epstein files several times, as well as other high -level people.
Trump denied this account, and appearing in the files is not necessarily indicative of any reprehensible act.
“I want all the information,” said Republican senator Josh Hawley of Missouri.
“You just have to get it out, to make it as transparent as possible,” said Republican Senator Lindsey Graham de Caroline du Sud.
The Ministry of Justice said earlier this month that it planned to disclose any additional information despite a prior commitment to do so.
