Todd Blanche, number two of the US Ministry of Justice and former personal lawyer for Donald Trump in several criminal procedures, met Ghislaine Maxwell on Friday 25 July at the Tallahassee court, the capital of Florida, for a second day of interrogation. The Todd Blanche team entered the court through a stolen door, report the American media.
For his part, David Markus, the lawyer for Ghislaine Maxwell, ex-partner and collaborator of Jeffrey Epstein, briefly spoke to journalists on his arrival. “Ghislaine has been unjustly treated for over five years now”he said, calling it to “Scapegoat”. “Everything she says can be corroborated and she tells the truth. She has no reason to lie at this stage and she will continue to tell the truth ”added the lawyer, refusing himself to the slightest precision on the content of the interrogation.
Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 for recruiting between 1994 and 2004 minor girls so that Epstein exploits them sexually. “The Ministry of Justice will share more information on what we have learned at the right time”said Todd Blanche on X Thursday evening, after the first day of discussions.
President Donald Trump, for his part, distanced himself from the late businessman, which he was very close to more than twenty years ago. “I have nothing to do with this guy”he told journalists his departure from Washington for a trip to Scotland. He advised the media to “Take an interest in rather” to Democratic personalities like ex-President Bill Clinton or his American Minister of Finance, Larry Summers, ex-president of Harvard, assuring their power “Provide a list” Personalities much more linked to Jeffrey Epstein than him.
Asked about the possibility of granting presidential pardon or a switching of sentence to Ghislaine Maxwell, sentenced in 2022 to twenty years in prison for sex trafficking, Donald Trump assured “Do not have thought of it”but stressed that he had power.
Flame return for Donald Trump
The death of Jeffrey Epstein, a rich businessman found hanging in his cell in New York on August 10, 2019 before his judgment, fueled countless conspiracy theories, according to which he was murdered to prevent embarrassing revelations on leading personalities.
Donald Trump, who for months has promised his basis of shattering revelations on this file, underwent a return of flame, including in his own camp, since his government announced in early July that he had discovered any new element which would justify the publication of additional documents.

The American Ministry of Justice and the FBI, the federal police, concluded that there was no evidence of the existence of a secret list of « clients » by Jeffrey Epstein and confirmed that he had committed suicide.
Pressure in republican ranks
Donald Trump also denied being the author of a Salace letter for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 for the 50e birthday of this one, including the Wall Street Journal reported last week. He continues the daily defamation for this article and claims billions of dollars.
The Trump administration and its allies are fire of all wood to get out of this affair. Republican leaders to the House of Representatives thus sent elected officials on vacation on Wednesday, one day earlier than expected, in order to avoid potentially explosive debates, especially in their own camp, as for the possible publication of documents from the Epstein affair.
In parallel, media and political pressure continues to grow around the American executive, while each new revelation on the Epstein affair relaunches speculation and tensions within the republican party. Faced with this situation, the defense of Ghislaine Maxwell continues to argue injustice and denounce the treatment reserved for their client, while maintaining the vagueness on the elements discussed during recent hearings.
