Justice Department weighing release of Ghislaine Maxwell interview

The Justice Department is weighing the release of the audio file and transcript from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interview late last month with Ghislaine Maxwell, senior administration officials told Fox News — the latest in a nearly month-long saga that has consumed the Trump administration and the attention of the public since early July. 

Blanche’s interviews Ghislaine Maxwell took place over a two-day period in Florida, where she was in federal custody until August, when she was transferred to a low-security prison in Texas.

It is unclear how long the tape and transcripts from the interviews are, but they do exist, Fox News has learned, and discussions are underway today to whether and when to release them. 

The Justice Department declined to comment on additional specifics.
