Just when it seemed the Epstein saga had quieted down, Ghislaine Maxwell is preparing to bring it back into the spotlight.
From inside her Florida prison cell, the convicted sex trafficker is now planning to present what she calls “new evidence” to the Justice Department — and it could reignite questions about who knew what in one of America’s darkest scandals.
A High-Stakes Prison Meeting
Maxwell, 63, is scheduled to meet face-to-face with a senior Justice Department official at the federal prison where she’s serving a 20-year sentence.
According to her brother Ian Maxwell, she’s ready to deliver material that her legal team didn’t have access to during her 2021 trial.
“She will be presenting significant new material,” Ian told the New York Post, suggesting it could have changed the outcome of her conviction if it had surfaced earlier.
Epstein Footage Resurfaces — and It Involves Trump
Meanwhile, old footage of Jeffrey Epstein being questioned about Donald Trump and underage girls has resurfaced online.
In the 2010 deposition, Epstein is visibly uncomfortable and dodges questions with constitutional defenses.
When asked if he ever socialized with Trump in the presence of underage girls, Epstein refuses to answer, invoking his Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.
His evasive reply stood out even among the many questions he stonewalled during the session.
Political Fallout and the White House Response
As more Epstein-related material floods news cycles and social media, the political fallout continues.
The White House was contacted for comment after this latest round of revelations, especially with Attorney General Pam Bondi now under pressure.
A Wall Street Journal report claims Bondi told Donald Trump that his name appears in the Epstein investigation files — files that the Justice Department now says it won’t be releasing in full.
Maxwell Still the Only One Behind Bars
Despite Epstein’s vast network of wealthy and powerful associates, Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person imprisoned for the abuse scheme.
Victims have alleged that Epstein trafficked girls to high-profile men, including those who visited his private island, Little Saint James.
Maxwell’s team says she’s never been offered a plea deal and would gladly testify before Congress if given the chance.
“No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows,” said a source close to her.
Revisiting the Epstein “Suicide” Debate
Ghislaine’s brother, Ian, is also voicing renewed doubts over Epstein’s death, saying he believes his sister is in danger behind bars and that the official story of Epstein’s suicide doesn’t add up.
He cited a lack of proper investigation, missing footage, and a forensic expert’s view that homicide was more likely.
Ian believes the Trump administration and others would have welcomed the suicide narrative to avoid deeper scrutiny.
Claims of a ‘Hoax’ and Missing Jailhouse Footage
Trump himself has called the Epstein controversy a “Democrat-led hoax,” but the questions keep piling up.
Critics point to missing video footage from Epstein’s jail cell — notably a minute-long gap that fails to show the cell door or what was happening inside at the time of his death.
Despite the DOJ’s claim that there’s no Epstein “client list,” speculation remains rampant, especially among Trump supporters who feel betrayed by what they see as a Justice Department cover-up.
Bondi Under Fire for Withholding Epstein Files
Bondi is now being criticized by Trump’s MAGA base, who accuse her of backing out of a promise to release all the Epstein-related documents.
It was revealed this week that she informed Trump his name was among those listed in the files, intensifying concerns within the former president’s inner circle.
Though Trump’s name has previously appeared in Epstein-related documents, no official accusations have been made against him.
DOJ Tries to Downplay the Fallout
In an attempt to calm the storm, the DOJ released a statement from Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, saying the records were reviewed and found to contain no grounds for further investigation.
“Nothing warranted additional action,” the statement read, clarifying that simply being named in the files does not imply criminal behavior.
Trump’s Link to Epstein: Longstanding but Complicated
Trump’s relationship with Epstein is no secret.
While he once described Epstein as a “terrific guy,” he later distanced himself from the financier.
In a 2016 deposition, an accuser mentioned being with Epstein at Trump’s Atlantic City casino — but didn’t accuse Trump of any misconduct.
Even so, Trump’s continued association with Epstein has become political ammunition.
His team insists it’s all part of a partisan smear campaign, with spokesperson Steven Cheung calling the reports “fake news pushed by Democrats and the liberal media.”
