As questions swirled around the handling of the so-called Epstein files, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday he planned to meet with Maxwell in the “coming days.” That meeting is expected to happen Thursday, ABC News reported. The Independent has asked Maxwell’s lawyers for more information.

James Comer, chairman for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, on Wednesday issued a subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a press release from his office. The subpoena came on the same day a Florida judge denied a request by President Donald Trump's administration to unseal transcripts of grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein's case.
