The Justice Department on Monday defended prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell — as US Attorney General Pam Bondi faces a brewing firestorm over files related to the notorious pedophile.

The brother of Ghislaine Maxwell says Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend will reveal previously undisclosed details about the late pedophile when she meets with a top official from the Department of Justice.

The request from the justice department to interview Ghislaine Maxwell is just the latest attempt from the Trump administration to satisfy the loud clamour for more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case that is coming from the president’s own supporters.

Pam Bondi took office as Florida's first female attorney general in 2011. Epstein had gotten out of the Palm Beach County Jail two years earlier.

President Donald Trump said he was not contemplated granting clemency to Maxwell, an associate of deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
