Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has engaged in a two-day series of meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, as part of the renewed efforts by the Justice Department to address lingering questions regarding Epstein's network and operations. Following six hours of questioning on the first day, Maxwell is set for another session with Blanche in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The meetings come amid rising public demand for transparency regarding Epstein's associations, especially concerning high-profile figures, according to CBS News and ABC News.
