Twist in Jeffrey Epstein case as Pam Bondi requests to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell amid...

In a remarkable twist in the winding Jeffrey Epstein case, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell will meet with Donald Trump's Justice Department. 

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed a meet-up will take place 'in coming days' as Trump's department is embroiled in controversy for failing to put out the full Epstein-related files.

MAGA supporters are demanding that Trump do more to get to the bottom of the Epstein files after the president campaigned on making information related to the convicted pedophile public.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday morning the impending meeting between her deputy and the only person currently behind bars for Epstein's child sex trafficking ring.

'President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,' Blanche said in a statement posted to X by Bondi. 'If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.'

Maxwell, 63, is in the midst of serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein's crimes. 

Her attorney David Oscar Markus told CNN the team is in discussions to have Maxwell tell her side of the story.

'I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,' Markus said. 'We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.'

Just last week, the DOJ opposed Maxwell's request to have the Supreme Court review her case, with her lawyers claiming she should have never been charged because of a 2008 plea deal the courts struck with Epstein.

Trump tried desperately to get his base to abandon criticism of Bondi and the FBI after a memo earlier this month concluded the review found no foul play in Epstein's death. 

MAGA supporters were particularly enraged that no new material was produced in the Epstein files review and that Trump's DOJ found no existence of a so-called 'client list' of high profile co-conspirators. 

The president even started calling the whole ordeal the 'Epstein hoax' and claimed Democrats were to blame for stoking conspiracies in an effort to divide Republicans.

When that didn't work, Trump directed Bondi last week to request the Southern District of New York to unseal grand jury testimony in the Epstein court case.

And now, Blanche will meet with Maxwell to ask her: 'What do you know?'

'I've contacted her counsel,' Blanche said. 'I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.'
