Jeffrey Epstein’s brother is calling out the Justice Department’s plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell in jail. His statement comes as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated he expects to meet with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors on behalf of Epstein, to see if she has ‘information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims.’

The Justice Department’s effort to appear transparent in the Epstein case, which has been plagued by conspiracy theories, follows significant backlash from President Trump’s base. Many supporters were outraged by the administration’s initial refusal to release more documents related to the Epstein investigation. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been under intense pressure from Trump’s supporters to release all materials concerning Epstein, who infamously died by apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, confirmed they are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine ‘will always testify truthfully.’ Markus expressed gratitude to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this matter.

However, Mark Epstein, brother of the late financier, claims this is just another tactic to divert attention from crucial unpublished evidence and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his brother’s death. He maintains that his brother was murdered, despite a recent Justice Department and FBI review concluding Epstein died by suicide after a months-long investigation.

‘They’ll talk to her (Maxwell) and ask her what her favorite color is. So they can say they talked to her. It depends what the conversation is about,’ Epstein scoffed, suggesting Maxwell might be afraid to speak freely for fear of repercussions to her appeal.

Mark Epstein, who knew Maxwell in the 1990s but hasn’t spoken to her in decades, believes she holds key information about interactions between Epstein and President Trump. He directly refuted a White House statement claiming Trump had ‘never been’ to his brother’s office, calling it ‘the biggest crap I’ve ever heard.’  Epstein asserted, ‘I would speak to Jeffrey and he’d say he was with Trump. I know people in his office saw him there.’

While the White House referred comment requests to the Justice Department, which offered no further comment beyond Blanche’s statement, Blanche himself declared, ‘This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead.’ He also noted that the recent review found ‘no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.’ Blanche emphasized, ‘President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.’

Speaking from the Oval Office, President Trump stated he was unaware of the DOJ’s plan to speak with Maxwell but deemed it ‘appropriate to do.’ He added, ‘I don’t know anything about it. I don’t really follow that too much. It’s sort of a witch hunt.’ Trump has consistently maintained he is ‘not a fan’ of Jeffrey Epstein, claiming they had a falling out over 20 years ago and hadn’t spoken since. Last week, the President took legal action against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal for publishing a story alleging a friendship between Trump and Epstein.

Meanwhile, some of Trump’s most ardent supporters continue to push for the release of a supposed list of Epstein’s high-profile clients, a claim the Justice Department and FBI review concluded was unfounded. President Trump has urged his supporters to dismiss these theories as a Democrat ‘scam’ and ‘hoax,’ labeling the ongoing narrative as ‘pretty boring stuff.’
