() The Justice Department’s interview with Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has ended after two days, and her attorney told they were “very grateful” for the opportunity.

“This was a thorough, comprehensive interview by the deputy attorney general,” David Oscar Markus told . “No person and no topic were off-limits. We are very grateful. The truth will come out.

“She didn’t say, ‘Don’t ask me about that. I am not going to talk about this person.’ She was asked about maybe 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody, and she didn’t hold anything back.”

Maxwell’s case is receiving renewed scrutiny as public pressure mounts for the Trump administration to release more of the government’s files on Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell meets with DOJ

Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking in connection with Epstein in 2021 and is serving a 20-year prison sentence. She is currently appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court. Epstein died in jail awaiting trial on related charges in 2019.

When asked if Maxwell has an incentive to tell Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche what he wants to hear, Markus said his client wants to tell the truth because lies could be corroborated or disproven and result in additional charges.

“No, because she wants to tell the truth, because the truth can be corroborated or disproven if she lies; they could charge her with lying,” Markus said.

The attorney noted that previous perjury charges against Maxwell were dropped. He said the Southern District of New York “had a very specific view of the case and charged her in a way that we believe was disproven and wrong.”

Markus was asked Thursday about the possibility of a reduced sentence or a pardon. He said she’s just answering questions for now.

“[Blanche] took a full day and asked a lot of questions,” Markus said outside a federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida, Thursday afternoon. “Miss Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped. She never invoked a privilege. She never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability.”

He added that Maxwell hasn’t asked for “anything,” including a pardon.

“This is not a situation where we’re asking anything in return for testimony or anything like that. Of course, everybody knows that Miss Maxwell would welcome any relief. She’s been in very difficult conditions for five years, and so she would welcome any relief. It’s the right thing to do and and we have faith that the right thing will happen sooner rather than later,” he said.

Blanche said in a Thursday post on X that the Department of Justice will share additional information about what it learned “at the appropriate time.”

On Wednesday, the United States House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Maxwell.

The interview with Maxwell in Florida comes as the Trump administration is facing increasing pressure to release more information from the Epstein files after the Justice Department earlier this month released a memo concluding Epstein died by suicide and did not keep a client list. Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously said such files were on her desk.

The memo led to massive outrage from within the Republican Party. While the White House has tried to move on and distract from it, and Republican leaders have tried to contain furor among GOP lawmakers, calls for the release of more Epstein-related materials have only grown.

Trump says he hasn’t thought about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell

On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters he wasn’t considering granting Maxwell clemency.

“It’s something I haven’t thought about it. I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about,” Trump told reporters when asked about a pardon or clemency for Maxwell.

“I certainly can’t talk about pardons,” he later added, while leaving the White House for a trip to Scotland.

Trump also told reporters he was “never briefed” on his name being in the Epstein files.

When questioned on the Maxwell-Blanche meeting, Trump told reporters they should be focused on other Epstein associates and topics, including the release of documents related to former President Barack Obama and the investigation into Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election.

“I don’t know about the meeting. I know it’s taking place, and he’s a fantastic man. He’s a great attorney,” Trump said of Blanche.

Trump, Epstein and Maxwell used to socialize but had a falling out. In the run-up to her 2021 trial, Trump told reporters he wished Maxwell well but in recent weeks has sought to change the subject if asked about her or Epstein.

Trump later suggested he has a list of people who were associated with Epstein, other than him, that he could give to the media.

The president said twice that he didn’t want to talk about a pardon for Maxwell. He insisted that he never went to Epstein’s private island. He then continued to name others he thinks were associated with Epstein.
