The Justice Department granted Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, limited immunity before she sat for two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, ABC News reported Friday.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other charges. The interview comes as the Trump administration faces significant pressure from its base to reveal additional information about Epstein, who has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories.

The Hill has not yet independently verified this report.

Both Maxwell’s attorneys and the DOJ have been coy about the content of the interviews.

“This was a thorough, comprehensive interview by the Deputy Attorney General. No person and no topic were off-limits. We are very grateful. The truth will come out,” Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, said in a statement to NewsNation Friday.

Blanche, meanwhile, said the department would share more information “at the appropriate time.” He and Maxwell spoke for a total of nine hours over two days.

ABC reported that the immunity Maxwell was granted is often granted in order to help individuals cooperate with a criminal case. 

Markus said Friday that he had not spoken to the White House about a presidential pardon. Asked about the possibility, President Trump said that he was “allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about.”

Maxwell is appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court, a move that the DOJ has opposed. She is also currently facing a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee.

Her meeting with Blanche has sparked skepticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday that he was skeptical if Maxwell would be willing to tell the truth, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the meeting “stinks of high corruption.”
