(NewsNation) — The Justice Department’s interview with Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has ended after two days, and her attorney told NewsNation they were “very grateful” for the opportunity.

“This was a thorough, comprehensive interview by the Deputy Attorney General,” David Oscar Markus told NewsNation. “No person and no topic were off-limits. We are very grateful. The truth will come out.”

Maxwell’s case is receiving renewed scrutiny as public pressure mounts for the Trump administration to release more of the government’s files on Epstein.

The disgraced socialite was once one of Epstein’s closest associates and is serving a 20-year sentence for child trafficking.

On Friday, Trump told reporters he wasn’t considering granting Maxwell clemency. Trump, Epstein and Maxwell used to socialize, but had a falling out. In the run-up to her 2021 trial, Trump told reporters he wished Maxwell well, but in recent weeks has sought to change the subject if asked about her or Epstein.
