Epstein's Right-Hand Woman Gains 'Proffer' Immunity As She Gives Detailed Info On '100 People' Linked To The Late Sex Offender

A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, has shared an update about her recent interview with Justice Department prosecutors.

Over the course of two days, the convicted sex trafficker, who was reportedly granted "proffer" immunity, was questioned about Epstein's criminal network, including potential crimes committed by associates.

Maxwell's attorney revealed that the 63-year-old answered questions about "100 different people" connected to Jeffrey Epstein and suggested she was unlikely to have lied, as doing so could lead to perjury charges.

Epstein's right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, may have helped authorities uncover the identities of his fellow sex offenders after undergoing an intense interview with the Department of Justice officials, per the New York Post.

According to her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, Maxwell answered questions from the agency about "100 different people" connected to Epstein.

The team, led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, allegedly "asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything," and it offered Maxwell a chance to give her view of all she knew about Epstein and his criminal network.

"This was the first opportunity she's ever been given to answer questions about what happened," Markus said, adding that his client answered "every single question" she was asked during the interview.

He also assured individuals who have followed the Epstein case that "the truth will come out about what happened" with the late sex offender.

Adding to his bold declaration, Markus insisted that Maxwell was telling the truth during her interview, stating, "If she lies, they could charge her with lying."

However, a reporter quickly countered, pointing out that authorities had previously charged Maxwell with perjury, stemming from a 2016 deposition in a civil lawsuit related to Epstein's alleged sexual abuse.

Those perjury charges were filed in 2020 and were handled separately from the sex trafficking charges she later faced at trial in 2021.

Ultimately, Maxwell was never tried or convicted of perjury, as prosecutors offered to drop those charges in exchange for allowing her conviction on the more serious counts to remain in place.

She was convicted in 2021 of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and is currently serving a 20-year sentence at the all-female, low-security prison FCI Tallahassee in Florida.

The interview with Maxwell comes in the wake of backlash against the DOJ and FBI over a memo they released earlier this month regarding the absence of an Epstein "client list" or any information about his associates.

On July 22, the DOJ shared on their X page that they won't "shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead."

The statement also noted that they will hear what Maxwell has to say and that they had contacted her attorney, who appears to be Markus.

Subsequently, Deputy Attorney General Blanche followed up the agency's remarks with a post doubling down on its claim about exploring all leads.

He wrote in a tweet, "Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: What do you know? No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits."

Whatever information the DOJ officials have learned from Maxwell remains unknown at the moment, but is expected to be released in the future as promised by the deputy AG.

"The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time," Blanche wrote in a tweet after his first sit-down with Maxwell.

In exchange for cooperating with DOJ officials, the agency might use a "Rule 35 motion" to request that the court consider reducing Maxwell's sentence.

However, it is unclear whether such a deal was agreed to before Maxwell's interview with the DOJ.

According to ABC News, Maxwell was granted limited immunity, which allowed her to answer questions without fear that her remarks would be used against her in a future criminal case.

The special immunity, known as "proffer immunity," is reportedly granted to individuals whom prosecutors intend to encourage to cooperate and reveal as much information as possible.

Meanwhile, there has been speculation that President Donald Trump could grant Maxwell a pardon, similar to others he has issued during his time in office.

Markus is among those who have promoted this theory, saying Trump is "the ultimate dealmaker" and that Maxwell "didn't get a fair trial."

For now, this remains unlikely, as Trump recently told reporters, "This is no time to be talking about pardons." He also revealed that he has yet to consider granting Maxwell a pardon.
