  Speaker 2: I'm Sidney Sumner. The DOJ maybe releasing the list of
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Well, that really happen.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's sitting on my desk right now to review.

  Speaker 2: That's been a directive by President Trump.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm reviewing.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: After months of promises to release more of the files
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: associated with the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the Department of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Justice and the FBI release a joint statement claiming there
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: isn't anything else to publish in a rumored client list
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: does not exist. The FBI says searches of their records
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: revealed more than three hundred gigabytes of data, but most
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of that accounts for photos of Epstein, images and videos
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of minor victims in over ten thousand videos and images
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of child sex abuse material and other pornography. The DOJ
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: insists that any further releases would only harm Jeffrey Epstein's victims,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: who number more than one thousand. This is reports surface
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that President Trump was informed there were no more files
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to release back in May, along with being briefed that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: his name among several other high profile individuals were mentioned
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in the documents. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the mentions
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: do not constitute any evidence of wrongdoing. However, Epstein's answers
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: regarding his relationship with Trump in a twenty ten deposition
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are leading many to believe otherwise.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: What do you mean the personal relationships? Have you socialized
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: with him? Yes, sir, Yes, yes, sir. Have you ever
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the age of eighteen?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Though I'd like to answer that question at least today,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going I'd have to assert by fifth, sixth and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: fourteenth amend the rightser. Despite the seemingly dead end with
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the FBI releases, there is one more unexplored avenue to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: achieve the clarity the public and government officials seek. Deputy
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: US Attorney General Todd Blanche responded to the Department of
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Justice and FBI statement on Tuesday, agreeing with their decision
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to protect the remainder of the evidence against Epstein, but wrote, quote,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: inquired about Glaine Maxwell's willingness to meet with the government.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: That changes now. Blanche explained that BONDI has given him
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the green light to seek a meeting with Maxwell, who
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: may be willing to provide new evidence after five years
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in prison for her part in recruiting and abusing miners.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: According to Maxwell's brother, Ian, the sixty three year old
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: convicted sex trafficker is very open to meeting with Deputy
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Blanche. Maxwell has never told her side
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of the story, giving no interviews, refusing to speak with
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: prosecutors in declining to take the stand in her own defense.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Ian Maxwell claims his sister is preparing new evidence ahead
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of the meeting, items he says were not available at
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the time time of her trial and would have had
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a significant impact on the outcome. Yesterday, just two days
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: after Blanche announced plans for a meeting with Glene Maxwell,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the Disgrace Socialite was transported to the US Attorney's office
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: at the Tallahassee Federal Courthouse just after noon. When Maxwell's attorney,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: David Marcus emerged from the building four hours later, he
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: commented that the meeting was extremely productive. Marcus says Maxwell
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: answered each of Blanche's questions truthfully and to the best
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of her ability, never invoking privilege or refusing to answer.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Blanche confirmed the meeting on x later in the afternoon,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: saying they will continue their discussions today and the information
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: gathered during the meetings will be shared at the appropriate time.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Maxwell is also set to testify in front of the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee next month. Representative James Comer, the committee chair,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: announced that Maxwell will be subpoena, saying his fellow representatives
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: echo the public's cry for transparency and at this point
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Maxwell may be the only person alive who can. Comer
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: makes it clear that Maxwell will not be receiving any
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: kind of pardon or immunity in exchange for her testimony.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: The jailhouse deposition has been tentatively scheduled for August eleventh.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Though the government seems confident that Gilene Maxwell may provide
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: new evidence regarding Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, many of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: her victims are not sure the disgrace socialite will bring
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: any more clarity to the table. The late Virginia Geffrey,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a former Epstein's sex slave, always pointed to Maxwell as
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the cruler of the couple. It kind of worked like
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a pyramid scheme. Gilan brought me in, I brought other
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: girls in those girls brought other girls and they said,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: take off your clothes. I had these little girl undies on,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: like little hearts on them, I remember, and they were
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: laughing at that because they like that the younger you look,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the better it is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It turns into it turns very sexual, and.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It was abuse straightway from both of them. Giffrey called
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Maxwell vicious, evil and the geppetto to Epstein's Pinocchio. Maxwell
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: was heavily criticized for playing dumb in a twenty sixteen deposition,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: asking the deposer to explain a sex toy to her.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: At one point in the interview. Maxwell also publicly denied
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that Gufrey ever met Prince Andrew, despite standing next to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: her with the royal and heavily circulated photos.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I have simply no recollection of the photograph ever being taken.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The photograph is taken upstairs, and I don't think I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have a went upstairs in Glen's house.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Victim Teresa Helm echoes other's concerns that Maxwell will not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: provide any more truth on the situation. Helm describes Maxwell
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: as crafty and extremely articulate. Helm worries Maxwell will walk
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: away from these meetings with a sweetheart deal, and the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: public will be left wanting. Helm says if Maxwell negotiates
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: anything like Epstein's two thousand and seven slap on the wrist,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it would be a tragic day for those who survived
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: her horrific abuse. While the Department of Justice and FBI
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: seemingly hope to end the demand for answers with their
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: latest statement on the Jeffrey Epstein case, no one seems
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to be backing down from the call for transparency. Will
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Maxwell provide it. For the latest crime and justice breaking news,
