The Justice Department is preparing to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, as the Trump Administration faces pressure to unearth new evidence in the case of the deceased financier and release long-promised files related to Epstein’s network.

Officials say they want to ask Maxwell "what do you know?", as her lawyers confirm they are in discussions with the government.

The Department of Justice said it plans to reach out to Ghislaine Maxwell for a meeting amid recent calls for Jeffrey Epstein’s associate to testify about the accused sex trafficker.
