El fiscal general adjunto Todd Blanche, que representó al presidente Trump en su caso de "dinero de silencio", anunció que planea reunirse con la ex novia y co-conspiradora de Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, mientras continúa el impulso para liberar los archivos relacionados con el caso de tráfico de Epstein.

Washington

The U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanch, has announced plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein, as part of ongoing efforts to investigate the Epstein case. This development follows increased bipartisan pressure in Congress to pursue all leads and release credible evidence related to Epstein, whose case remains a significant legal and political issue.

Former President Trump, who has been linked to Epstein in the past, stated he was unaware of the planned interview but expressed support for the investigation. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has unanimously agreed to subpoena Maxwell for a deposition, reflecting bipartisan interest. Political disagreements over the release of Epstein-related files have led to an early congressional recess, leaving the issue unresolved for now.

El fiscal general adjunto solicita una entrevista con Ghislaine Maxwell

Buenas tardes. Casi en el mismo momento de hoy, el Congreso y la Casa Blanca se interrumpieron una vez más por el caso Epstein, algo que parecía casi resuelto hace cuatro años. Pero la creciente presión bipartidista mantiene la atención sobre el caso. Al anunciar los planes para reunirse con Ghislaine Maxwell, el Fiscal General Adjunto Todd Blanch dice que quiere preguntar, ¿qué sabes? Y piensa hacerlo porque ninguna pista está fuera de los límites. Maxwell es la ex novia y co-conspiradora del delincuente sexual convicto Jeffrey Epstein, un antiguo socio del presidente Trump que murió por suicidio hace casi seis años como él se enfrentaba a más cargos federales. El empuje para hablar con Maxwell viene como Trump, bajo la presión de los partidarios leales, quiere todas las pruebas creíbles en el caso liberado. Pero hoy afirmó que no sabía nada de los planes para hablar con Maxwell. No sé nada al respecto. ¿Van a qué? ¿A verla? El Fiscal General Adjunto se ha puesto en contacto con el abogado de Ghislaine Maxwell pidiendo una nueva entrevista. No lo sé, pero creo que es algo que sería, suena apropiado hacer, sí. Blanch es un ex fiscal federal que también representó a Trump el año pasado en su llamada juicio por dinero subrepticio. ¿Tiene alguna preocupación de que su fiscal general adjunto, que es su ex abogado, podría condujera la entrevista, dada su relación pasada con Epstein? Es una persona con mucho talento. Buscando desviar la atención del caso Epstein, Trump acusó al ex presidente Barack Obama de traición por cómo él y su administración investigaron las acusaciones de injerencia rusa en las elecciones de 2016. Es hora de ir a por la gente. Maxwell apela su condena por tráfico sexual ante el Tribunal Supremo. Habló con los estudios See It Now de CBS Paramount en agosto de 2022. Conocer a Epstein fue el mayor error de mi vida y, obviamente, si pudiera volver atrás hoy, evitaría reunirme con él. Tom Dupree es un antiguo alto funcionario del Departamento de Justicia. Bueno, esto es muy inusual y mira, es un esfuerzo del Departamento de Justicia para en al menos crear la apariencia de que continúan con el caso Epstein. Mi conjetura es que hay un cálculo político en esto, que empujando hacia adelante con fuerza en Maxwell para tratar de obtener esa información adicional, tal vez puedan reducir parte de la presión sobre la administración para liberar los archivos Epstein en su conjunto. Así que Ed, ¿por qué el Presidente envía a los legisladores a casa temprano? Bueno, en primer lugar, el Comité de Supervisión de la Cámara acordó hoy por unanimidad citar a Maxwell a comparecer para una declaración, por lo que un signo de bipartidismo allí. Pero las luchas internas entre los republicanos sobre si se debe obligar al pleno de la Cámara a votar sobre la liberación de los archivos Epstein es lo que obligó al Presidente hoy a levantar la sesión antes de tiempo para el receso de verano. Una mezcla de demócratas y republicanos de base quieren la votación. El Presidente dijo inicialmente que apoyaba la liberación de todo, pero luego se echó atrás como se convirtió en un dolor de cabeza político. El Congreso no volverá a Washington hasta septiembre, por lo que el caso Epstein puede persistir. como una gran cuestión jurídica y política durante al menos seis semanas más.
