Ghislaine Maxwell Names 100 People Linked to Epstein After Getting Immunity Deal
Ghislaine Maxwell, the infamous Epstein accomplice, has started talking — and the list of names she’s giving federal investigators is reportedly explosive.
According to her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, Maxwell sat down with Justice Department officials this week for two marathon sessions — around nine hours total — and gave information on “100 different people” tied to Epstein. The talks were led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who reportedly gave her limited immunity in exchange for answering every question.
“This was the first time she’s been allowed to answer questions about what really happened,” Markus told reporters Friday. “The truth will come out about Epstein, and she’s the one giving those answers.”
Maxwell, 63, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and conspiracy. Her attorney says she didn’t take the Fifth once during questioning and that Blanche “asked her about everything imaginable.”
“If she lies, they can charge her,” Markus said. When a reporter reminded him she was already charged with perjury at one point, Markus fired back that those counts were dropped after her conviction.
Trump Connection?
Speculation is already swirling that Maxwell’s cooperation could be part of a bid for clemency from President Donald Trump. Markus called Trump “the ultimate dealmaker” and said his client was “treated unfairly” and “didn’t get a fair trial.”
Trump, however, brushed off questions on Sunday while in Scotland. “I don’t know anything about the conversation,” he said. “This is no time to be talking about pardons.”
“No One Is Above the Law”
Blanche himself teased the talks earlier in the week, posting on X: “No one is above the law — and no lead is off-limits.”
Sources told ABC News that Maxwell reached out to the DOJ first, setting up the proffer agreement that protected her from having her statements used against her in court. These kinds of deals are typically offered when prosecutors want cooperation for bigger cases.
But Maxwell’s credibility is shaky. In 2022, the DOJ said she had shown a “significant pattern of dishonest conduct” and never took responsibility for her crimes. Still, Markus hinted that Epstein had struck a deal years ago that “no potential co-conspirators would be prosecuted,” suggesting the government may have broken that promise.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has previously hinted at releasing the so-called “Epstein client list,” but nothing has surfaced yet. Maxwell’s testimony could change that.
