Jonathan Turley Explains Why Ghislaine Maxwell May Be ‘Most Dangerous Witness’ Regarding Epstein

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Thursday Ghislaine Maxwell potentially has “a lot of information” tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that may not have been previously revealed.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X Tuesday that the DOJ would meet with Maxwell, who was convicted on five of six counts in December 2021, including a charge of conspiring to sex traffic minors. Turley said that while Maxwell had been sentenced, it also appeared she had never been interviewed by the Justice Department.

“One of the interesting aspects about this meeting is that Blanche may be first Department of Justice official to interview Maxwell,” Turley told “America Reports” co-host Sandra Smith. “I was under the impression, the reporting previously that she had spoken to investigators after all into this scandal. I was told by a member of her legal team that she has never been interviewed by the Justice Department and that does raise the question whether she is an untapped source of information.”

“So this is a much more significant interview than many of us might have anticipated,” Turley continued. “The assumption is if she had something to trade, she’d have done it already. The expiration date on this milk is long past because she has already been sentenced to 20 years, and you would think she would have come forward and say, look, I’ve got something here that is worth a trade. But she is making many people feel uncomfortable today because she is someone who may have a lot of information that simply has not been revealed.”

Some of President Donald Trump’s supporters have criticized him and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files, with the president being “ratioed” on Truth Social over the matter, Newsweek reported. Trump fired back at the critics in a July 16 post on Truth Social and also defended Bondi in a lengthy statement posted July 12 on the site.

Smith asked Turley about the House Oversight Committee electing to issue a subpoena for Maxwell’s testimony and how much information Maxwell could potentially provide.

“Most of us assumed that she had been interviewed repeatedly,” Turley said. “That is what the legal team is now saying has not actually occurred. Of all of the people that would have the goods essentially on this scandal, it is Maxwell. With the exception of Epstein himself, she was this ubiquitous presence. She’s in all these pictures and she’s just in the background. That is always your most dangerous witness, someone who is unseen but always there.”

“The question is, does she have something that would be material for criminal prosecution and not just embarrassing?” Turley continued.
