Overview
- House Democrats released emails from the Epstein estate saying President Donald Trump knew about victims and spent hours with a teenage victim, contradicting parts of Maxwell’s statements in DOJ transcripts.
- Conservative attorney George Conway said Blanche is not fit to serve, arguing his questioning of Maxwell was incompetent or designed to avoid incriminating Trump.
- Blanche responded on X that law enforcement did not have the estate’s materials when he interviewed Maxwell in July 2025 and defended his approach to the questioning.
- Maxwell told Blanche she did not witness inappropriate behavior by prominent figures, and she was later transferred from a low-security Florida facility to a more comfortable Texas prison camp, drawing complaints of preferential treatment.
- Democrats and outside commentators called for inquiries into Maxwell’s transfer and urged that she be re-interviewed or charged if the new evidence shows she lied.
