Department aims to gather information about potential criminal activities related to Jeffrey Epstein's case.
The Justice Department has expressed its intention to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of aiding former financier Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of underage girls.
Serving a 20-year prison sentence, Maxwell is currently incarcerated.
According to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the motive behind this initiative is to obtain any information she might possess about individuals involved in criminal activities against victims.
President
Donald Trump has directed the release of all credible evidence in this case.
Discussions are underway with Maxwell's legal team.
The Department's efforts follow criticism over its initial reluctance to disclose additional records from the Epstein investigation.
This move also includes a recent request to unseal grand jury transcripts, pending judicial approval.
Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019, is accused of sexually abusing hundreds of young girls over several years.
Maxwell's involvement was deemed crucial to these activities.
The Department has stated that no evidence has been found to charge anyone else related to Epstein's crimes.
Nevertheless, they are committed to pursuing justice based on the facts.
A lawyer for Maxwell confirmed discussions with the government and expressed gratitude for President Trump's commitment to uncovering the truth.
