Amidst Calls To Release The Epstein Files, A NEW DEMAND: Release The Maxwell Tapes! - Glenn Kirschner
Senators Richard Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse are demanding that the Department of Justice release the tapes of the recent interviews with Jeffrey Epstein's convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney and current Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch reportedly interviewed Maxwell for nine hours. The only way the American people will be able to have any confidence in what Maxwell said is for DOJ to release the full recordings of those interview.
As Senator Durbin stated: there are "serious concerns that Ms. Maxwell may provide false information or selectively withhold information, in return for a pardon or sentence commutation."
This video discusses this recent legal development, as well a related story involving Maxwell's latest court filing urging the Supreme Court to review and reverse her criminal conviction. - Glenn Kirschner - 07/28/2025.
