Donald Trump's DOJ May Release Ghislaine Maxwell Interview: Reports
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Justice Department, under Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, is weighing whether to release the transcript of a closed-door interview with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, according to CNN and Fox News. Blanche would reportedly release the transcript at the direction of President Donald Trump, who has ordered the disclosure of "all credible evidence" in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The two-day interview, conducted last week in Tallahassee, reportedly focused on roughly 100 individuals connected to Epstein, with Maxwell's attorney saying she answered "every single question" under limited immunity. The push to make the transcript public comes amid growing pressure from Trump allies and House Republicans to unseal related grand jury materials, though victim advocates warn about privacy concerns and question Blanche's independence because of his prior role as Trump's personal attorney. While Trump has not ruled out a pardon for Maxwell, saying he "hasn't thought about it," critics argue that selectively releasing materials risks appearing as symbolic transparency rather than true accountability. This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.

Epstein victims knock FBI, DOJ over handling of case
Two victims of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein questioned the Trump administration's motives for seeking to unseal grand jury testimony in letters to the court made public Monday. The victims, both anonymous, wrote separately to U.S. District Judge Richard Berman to speak up for themselves and fellow victims whom they suggested were not being adequately considered in the government's quest to make the papers public. 'I am not sure the highest priority here is the victims, justice for the victims or combatting child exploitation, or at least I do not feel this way,' one victim wrote, asserting that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI's priority seems to be protecting 'wealthy men.' The other victim said their decision to speak out comes with 'disdain, disgust and fear' over how DOJ has handled its efforts to release the so-called 'Epstein Files.' 'Dear United States, I wish you would have handled and would handle the whole 'Epstein Files' with more respect towards and for the victims,' that victim wrote. 'I am not some pawn in your political warfare. 'What you have done and continue to do is eating at me day after day as you help to perpetuate this story indefinitely,' they continued. The Trump administration's renewed efforts to release fresh information about Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, follows sharp criticism from his political base which has long called for greater transparency around the case. The Justice Department announced earlier this year that Epstein did not have a 'client list' and confirmed his 2019 death was indeed a suicide, angering conspiracists who believe the government has concealed the truth about Epstein and Maxwell's sex trafficking scheme. President Trump has grown increasingly frustrated as his supporters have pressed for more information or the appointment of a special prosecutor. In recent weeks, top DOJ officials have opened talks with Maxwell. The victims argued that the attention to Epstein has gone too far. 'The latest attention on the 'Epstein Files,' the 'Client List' is OUT OF CONTROL and the ones that are left to suffer are not the high-profile individuals, IT IS THE VICTIMS,' the first victim said. 'Why the lack of concern in handling such sensitive information for the victims sake?' Neither victim explicitly called for the transcripts to remain under seal, but both urged great caution in determining what information should be released. Tuesday is the deadline for Epstein's victims to respond to the government's request to unseal the papers, and the judge said he would rule 'expeditiously' afterward.

Trump "happy to hear" DOJ launched grand jury probe of Obama officials
President Trump on Tuesday said he was "happy to hear" that Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury probe into the Obama administration's handling of the investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 election. The big picture: The development, which was first reported by Fox News and confirmed by multiple outlets, marks an escalation in the president's push to rehash the thoroughly investigated conclusion that Moscow interfered in the election. Trump has gone on offense against his political enemies, in part emboldened by a compliant DOJ, Axios' Zach Basu writes. He's also long held a grievance against the Russia investigation, which he's slammed as a "witch hunt" for years. What he's saying: Asked Tuesday on CNBC's "Squawk Box" about reports that the DOJ was tapping a grand jury on the matter, Trump said he had "nothing to do with it" but added, "they deserve it." He then claimed the 2020 election was rigged, saying, "what they did in the 2020 election is grotesque." State of play: A grand jury investigation will enable prosecutors to subpoena documents and present evidence to secure a potential indictment. In a rare rebuke last month, a spokesperson for former President Obama called the administration's accusations "outrageous," "bizarre" and "a weak attempt at distraction." Whom the grand jury will investigate from the Obama administration and what, if any, charges they could face remains unclear. The DOJ did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. Context: Trump has accused Obama and other political foes of trying to "rig an election" and claimed the former president committed "treason" following the release of a memo from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleging evidence of "suppression." It centered on findings from the Obama-era intelligence community that Russia didn't alter vote tallies by hacking election infrastructure. But no serious investigation ever claimed Russia did so. Gabbard also released a report drafted by House Republicans that questioned the analytical process behind the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Trump over Hillary Clinton. During a White House press briefing, Gabbard accused Obama and his national security team of directing "the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false." Yes, but: Special counsel Robert Mueller and the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee both concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win. Catch up quick: Gabbard, who accused the Obama administration of a "treasonous conspiracy" to sabotage Trump's presidency in 2016, referred her findings to the Justice Department, which last month announced the formation of a "Strike Force" to assess her evidence and consider legal steps. Bondi, at the time, vowed that the DOJ would "investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice."
