Some conservative influencers have celebrated the move to approach the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, but it comes with risks.

As President Donald Trump struggles to contain the fallout over his ties to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, lawmakers on Capitol Hill and officials within his own administration are turning to Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier’s longtime co-conspirator and sometime girlfriend.

The Epstein accomplice met with a top Justice Department official and answered "every single question," her lawyer said.

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer has spoken out as she heads into a second day of interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Although the meeting with the Department of Justice isn't occurring there, eyes are turning to the state capital's federal women's prison that houses Ghislaine Maxwell, former girlfriend to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and herself a convicted sex trafficker.

Experts say they're bewildered by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's decision to interview Ghislaine Maxwell.
