In a revelation likely to reignite controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney has confirmed that his client fully cooperated with investigators during a confidential meeting with the Trump-era Department of Justice, stating she “answered every single question.”
The disclosure came during a media interview this week, where Maxwell’s legal team sought to emphasize her past cooperation with federal authorities amid ongoing speculation about the extent of her knowledge and potential deals.
“Ms. Maxwell voluntarily met with DOJ officials and answered every single question put to her — without immunity, without delay, and without evasion,” her attorney said. “There was no silence, no obstruction. She did what she was asked to do.”
While the exact timing and scope of the meeting remain classified, sources familiar with the matter say it occurred prior to her 2020 arrest, during a broader federal effort to assess Epstein’s global network of enablers and financiers.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and conspiracy, has long been at the center of public fascination and legal scrutiny, not just for her role in Epstein’s crimes but also for what she may know about powerful individuals tied to his network — including politicians, business moguls, and royalty.
The attorney’s statement appears to be part of a broader strategy to position Maxwell as a cooperative figure, possibly in light of mounting legal pressure and persistent public demands for accountability beyond her conviction.
The Department of Justice has not commented on the meeting or its contents. However, legal analysts note that even full cooperation does not necessarily guarantee leniency or immunity, particularly in cases involving high-profile and systemic abuse.
Calls for further transparency and the unsealing of documents related to Epstein’s associates have intensified in recent months, with congressional inquiries and civil suits pushing for the release of flight logs, deposition transcripts, and internal FBI files.
Whether Maxwell’s cooperation will eventually contribute to broader prosecutions or political fallout remains to be seen. But her lawyer’s bold claim underscores that the Epstein saga — and the many unanswered questions it left behind — is far from over.
