Breaking: DOJ Grants Ghislaine Maxwell Limited Immunity in Epstein Probe as Trump Demands Truth Be Exposed
In a dramatic development late Friday, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice granted limited immunity to Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Jeffrey Epstein, in an effort to unearth long-suppressed information about the financier’s infamous network of elites.
According to ABC News, Maxwell sat for two days of interviews—totaling nine hours—with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, after receiving partial immunity that shielded her from further prosecution based on her testimony.
While Maxwell’s 2021 conviction on five sex trafficking-related charges remains intact—along with her 20-year prison sentence—this agreement allows her to speak freely, potentially unlocking years of buried information tied to Epstein’s elite circle. A recent appeal of her sentence was denied, but the new DOJ discussions mark a stark shift in tone.
“She didn’t hold anything back,” said Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, adding: “There have been no asks and no promises.”
According to insiders, Maxwell initiated the dialogue, telling investigators she’s ready to “tell the American public the truth.” A source close to her noted, “No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows… she would welcome the chance to sit in front of Congress and tell her story.”
While Congress has not yet called her to testify, Blanche and DOJ officials met with Maxwell this week, including a session on Thursday that reportedly ended with her return to prison carrying a mysterious box.
“If Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” Blanche said, noting that President Trump has ordered the release of all credible evidence.
The sessions—six hours on Wednesday and three on Thursday—came in the wake of DOJ findings earlier this month that contradicted years of speculation, asserting that Epstein maintained no official “client list” and ruling that his 2019 death was suicide. These conclusions, long viewed skeptically by conservatives, are now being reassessed with fresh scrutiny.
Though the contents of Maxwell’s debriefing remain under wraps, Blanche wrote on X that the DOJ would release what it learned “at the appropriate time.”
Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.

Maxwell’s legal team stayed tight-lipped on specifics. Markus confirmed, “We don’t want to get into the substance of the questions. There were a lot of questions… she answered every one of them.”
Legal experts were stunned by the level of access granted to Maxwell. ABC News called it “almost unheard of” for a convicted sex trafficker to be granted such a platform.
As for a possible presidential pardon, President Trump said he wouldn’t discuss clemency during such a “sensitive” period but reaffirmed his confidence in Blanche, calling him “a professional lawyer” with deep experience.
Markus added that clemency isn’t off the table, even though there’s been no formal request—yet.
“The president this morning said he had the power to do so. We hope he exercises that power in the right and just way,” Markus stated.
As the investigation barrels forward, eyes across the country are focused on what Maxwell may reveal—and who in the upper echelons of power might finally be named.
