Maxwell, who was the only person convicted in connection with the sex trafficking ring operated by the late financier Epstein, met last week with officials from the Department of Justice as the Trump administration tries to deal with a backlash over its failure to release the so-called “ Epstein files. ”

Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors. Critics are calling on the Trump to release more information.

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer addressed Trump's remarks after Maxwell met with a top DOJ official for a second day.
