U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is planning to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell in Florida on Thursday – just one day after a Congressional committee voted to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice to provide additional testimony surrounding his years of sex crimes.
The news comes as Maxwell is reportedly compiling new evidence pertaining to alleged government misconduct stemming from her 2021 trial to hand over to the Department of Justice (DOJ), her brother, Ian Maxwell, confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“She will be putting before that court material new evidence that was not available to the defense at her 2021 trial, which would have had a significant impact on its outcome,” Ian Maxwell told The New York Post.
In 2008, Epstein struck a deal with federal prosecutors in a bid to avoid more severe federal charges by pleading guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. One month after his arrest, he was found dead in his New York City jail cell in what was ultimately ruled a suicide.
Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi told “America Reports” host John Roberts that she was in possession of Epstein’s “client list.”
Maxwell is currently serving out her 20-year sentence for propositioning underage girls for Epstein’s sexual assaults at FCI Tallahassee in Florida. She was convicted of five federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor.
Maxwell is set to testify in front of Congress on Aug. 11.
The DOJ and Maxwell’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
