Did Maxwell decide to talk for the first time because Trump's personal attorney-turned-Deputy AG gave her immunity? [View all]

...remember, Maxwell refused to testify in the trial in which she was convicted, and for years has refused to cooperate with authorities.

There's speculation that Blanche could be carrying a pardon promise in his pocket, however, a promise of immunity from prosecution would allow Trump to avoid directly involving himself.

Blanche posted on X just after 7 p.m. Thursday, "Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time."

"Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability," said Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, speaking to reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

Why is she talking, all of the sudden, after all of this time?

Who gets to officially judge if she's being truthful and hold her accountable if she's not? This corrupt administration?

And, did DOJ release Epstein files to Maxwell to rifle through after refusing to release them to the public?
