07 28 25 FOX News' Eben Brown discusses the DOJ meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
She was asked maybe about one hundred different people.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
She answered the questions about everybody.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Speaking to reporters outside of Florida Prison, Gallayne Maxwell's lawyer
said she answered questions from the Justice Department about a
lot of people linked to her former accomplished Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
The convicted sex trafficker, was granted limited immunity to allow
her to answer questions about the late billionaire without fear
the information could be used against her in a future case.
Joining us now in the ka Comma Spirit of Health Hotline,
Fox News Radio's Evan Brown eban, what more have we
learned from any of the testimony that Elaine Maxwell had
maybe have getten to Todd, Blanche and some of those folks.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, not much, because first of all, the Justice Department
isn't going to really divulge these types of things, certainly
not before they get it into court. And from the
side of Gilaine Maxwell, other than expressing her attorney expressing
exactly how forthcoming she is and cooperative she is, they

(00:55):
really haven't discussed the meat and potatoes of their discussion.
What's more interesting is that the discussions themselves are actually
taking place. These were five hourscuse me ten hours or
so of interview time overspread over two days with the
Deputy Attorney General of the United States who flew from
Washington to the Northern District of Florida, had her taken

(01:17):
from her jail cell at the Federal Correctional Institute in
Tallahassee brought to the Tallahassee Federal Courthouse for these meetings.
This was not the local US attorney or their assistants
doing this, or an FBI agent doing this. It's the
second in command of the United States Department of Justice
doing this. So this is some very high level stuff.

(01:38):
They must think that she might know something about something else.
And of course she is motivated to do this because
if she has any worthwhile information to share that for
some reason she didn't share way back when, maybe she
and her attorneys think that this could lead to some
kind of successful appeal or perhaps a resentencing attempt, or

(02:02):
maybe even a case for clemency. Although President Trump, while
in Scotland was asked about that and he said, I'm
not even thinking about such things.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Evan.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
When we look at this and you say it's high
level secrecy and confidentiality of what we're seeing but do
some believe that this also could be performative of Okay,
we're doing the due diligence of what we're doing, or
is it more of like a protection of we can't
tell you what we're doing, because I know a lot
of people want more transparency, But can that transparency happen?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, I'm going to say it could be all of
those things at once. Certainly, the president and his people
have felt a little bit of the heat from his
own supporters about the lack of forthcomingness of evidence from
the Epstein case, and that has probably resonated a bit.
At the same time, it's sort of standard operating procedure

(02:52):
for the Justice Department and not divulge things prior to
bringing them to court. They don't play things, they don't
try things in the press. That's the DJ going back
decades at this point. It's not like local prosecutors that
often will make use of the press, right for you know,
state level, county level prosecutors. So all of that kind

(03:12):
of plays into it. I think the big question is
whether or not this will placate the people who have
been upset with the lack of evidence released or may
being made public, who like to allege that there is
a very high level conspiracy going on to protect certain
political elite. The reality of that is is that there
may never be placating people who believe that, and no

(03:35):
matter what is revealed, it may just not be enough.
And that's all we can do. But if there is
something else, that is, if there's any more there there,
certainly I would think the DJ has an obligation to
pursue it as best as they can.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Fox News is Radios, Evan Brown. Thanks Evan, You're welcome.
