Ghislaine Maxwell Reportedly Provides DOJ With '100 Names' Linked to Epstein
Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly revealed more than 100 names associated with Jeffrey Epstein during recent confidential meetings with the Justice Department, sparking rumors that she may be seeking clemency from President Donald Trump.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche oversaw two days of questioning—sessions Maxwell's lawyer claims were the first real chance for her to disclose information fully, according to The New York Post.
David Oscar Markus, Maxwell’s attorney, stated clearly that investigators asked "every possible thing you could imagine."
“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Markus explained. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”
Blanche previously confirmed that "no lead is off-limits," and Maxwell's legal team noted she did not invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.
“If she lies, they could charge her with lying,” Markus added. When reminded by reporters that Maxwell had faced perjury charges before, Markus acknowledged that those counts were dismissed following her 2021 conviction.
Sources speaking with ABC News revealed Maxwell was granted proffer immunity, protecting her disclosures from use in future criminal charges—a tactic prosecutors typically use to secure cooperation.
Currently, Maxwell, 63, is appealing her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and conspiracy linked to Epstein’s criminal activities. Observers speculate she might be angling for a deal, which Markus didn't deny, calling Trump "the ultimate dealmaker."
“She’s been treated unfairly for the past five years. She didn’t get a fair trial,” Markus stated, adding, “We hope he exercises that power in a right and just way.”
While traveling overseas in Scotland, President Trump indicated he was unaware of the details and had not considered a pardon, stating, “This is no time to be talking about pardons.”
Reports suggest Maxwell herself initiated the contact, meeting DOJ officials for approximately nine hours across two days.
The DOJ, which previously expressed skepticism about Maxwell's honesty, has not publicly commented on her latest disclosures. In 2022, the Department highlighted her "significant pattern of dishonest conduct" and noted her refusal to accept responsibility.
Earlier, following Epstein’s 2019 death in custody, federal authorities reportedly rejected a plea agreement with Maxwell. Markus asserted Epstein’s attorneys had previously received assurances from federal officials that "no potential co-conspirators would be prosecuted."
“I don’t think President Trump knows that the Justice Department took the position that that promise should not be upheld,” Markus claimed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has hinted at a full release of Epstein-related documents, including the infamous "client list." However, a July 6 DOJ and FBI memo asserted there was "no credible evidence" Epstein used sexual abuse for blackmail purposes or maintained any client list.
“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo stated.
Despite widespread speculation, authorities maintain they found no proof Epstein leveraged sexual abuse to influence notable individuals—among them Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Trump himself, who consistently denied ever visiting Epstein's infamous island. Trump famously banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in 2004 following an incident involving an underage girl.
Maxwell is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee on August 11, and her attorney noted she has yet to decide whether to invoke the Fifth Amendment during that hearing.
