The Justice Department is considering releasing the audio file and transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice.
Senior administration officials reportedly told Fox News about the possible release.
This comes as part of a long-running saga that has gripped public attention since early July and continues to consume the Trump administration.
Blanche’s interviews with Maxwell took place over two days in Florida, where she had been serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee.
Since the interviews, Maxwell was mysteriously transferred to a low-security facility in Texas.
The questioning occurred at the U.S. Attorney’s office in Tallahassee.
The interviews are now at the center of public outcry after Maxwell was moved last week to the “cushy” women’s federal prison camp in Texas without explanation.
Many are demanding more transparency on the Epstein investigation.
While the exact length of the interviews or the transcripts remains unclear, Fox News has confirmed that both exist.
Talks are currently underway within the Justice Department regarding whether, and when, to release them.
However, if the files are made public, they will likely be heavily redacted to protect the identities of individuals named in the documents, especially to safeguard victims, a point repeatedly emphasized by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Justice Department has not provided further details on the potential release or the interview itself.
This comes amid increasing pressure on the DOJ and the FBI to disclose more information about the Epstein case.
Public demand for more transparency reached its peak on July 7, after the DOJ issued an unsigned memo stating it would not release further information about the investigation, and dismissed the idea of a “client list” associated with Epstein, as had been widely speculated.
In response to this public outcry, the Trump administration seems to be reconsidering its approach.
President Trump has called for the release of “all credible” evidence from the case files.
In an interview with Newsmax late last week, Trump said:
“We’d like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt, and I would assume that was why he was there.”
Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has also escalated the pressure by issuing several subpoenas related to the Epstein investigation.
These include a request to the Justice Department for the “complete” Epstein files to be provided to the committee by August 19.
Additionally, the committee has subpoenaed former government officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, for depositions in the ongoing probe.
The subpoenas were voted on and approved unanimously by the committee in late July.
As the investigation continues, the demand for accountability and transparency grows, with Trump supporters among the loudest advocates for the release of critical information related to Epstein and his associates.
