Durbin demands recordings of Ghislaine Maxwell-Department of Justice talks

  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche held closed-door meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell on July 24 and 25, 2025 in relation to her ongoing legal matters.
  • The meetings occurred amid Maxwell's appeal to the Supreme Court and follow criticism of the Justice Department for not releasing full Epstein investigation files as previously promised by Attorney General Bondi.
  • Two lawmakers expressed strong criticism of the Justice Department's lack of transparency regarding these discussions and raised concerns that Maxwell could offer misleading or partial information in an attempt to obtain a pardon or reduce her sentence.
  • Durbin described the meetings as exceptionally rare for someone in the deputy attorney general’s position and insisted that the Senate Judiciary Committee receive all transcripts, recordings, and notes from those sessions.
  • These developments reflect sustained political tension over Epstein files disclosure and raise uncertainty about transparency and the handling of Maxwell’s appeal and possible clemency.
