Fact Check: Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein. wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ. how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ. so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times. The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump. oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work? does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you. we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’ you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls. it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is. let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time: ‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’

Fact Check: Did Todd Blanche Interview Ghislaine Maxwell to Exonerate Trump?

What We Know

The claim suggests that Todd Blanche, who is described as Donald Trump's personal attorney before his appointment as Deputy Attorney General, conducted an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, allegedly to secure a deal that would exonerate Trump. This assertion is based on the recent interviews conducted by Blanche with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking related to her association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Reports confirm that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche did indeed conduct a two-day interview with Ghislaine Maxwell at a federal facility in Tallahassee, Florida. According to Maxwell's attorney, she answered questions about "potentially 100 different people" and did not refuse to answer any questions posed to her during the interview (Washington Post, NBC News). Furthermore, Maxwell's attorney stated that there were "no asks and no promises" made during the interview, indicating that no deal was offered or sought (Washington Post).

Analysis

The claim that Todd Blanche is conducting the interview to "exonerate Donny" lacks substantial evidence. While it is true that Blanche was previously one of Trump's personal attorneys, the context of his current role as Deputy Attorney General complicates the narrative. The interviews are framed by the Justice Department as part of an effort to address public concerns regarding transparency in the Epstein case (NBC News, The Guardian).

Critics have pointed out that it is highly unusual for a Deputy Attorney General to be directly involved in such interviews, which raises questions about the motivations behind Blanche's involvement (CBS News). However, the assertion that the interview was a cover-up or an attempt to secure a pardon for Maxwell in exchange for exonerating Trump is speculative and not supported by direct evidence from the interviews themselves.

Maxwell's attorney has explicitly denied any negotiations for a deal, which undermines the claim that Blanche was offering her a way to absolve Trump in exchange for leniency (Washington Post).

Conclusion

The claim that Todd Blanche's interview with Ghislaine Maxwell was a cover-up or an attempt to exonerate Donald Trump is Partially True. While it is accurate that Blanche conducted the interview, the assertion that it was aimed at securing a deal for Trump lacks concrete evidence. Maxwell's attorney has denied any negotiations for a deal, and the interviews appear to be part of a broader effort by the Justice Department to address public scrutiny regarding the Epstein case. Thus, while there are elements of truth in the claim, the broader implications drawn from it are speculative and not substantiated by the available evidence.
