G hislaine Maxwell, who sources told ABC News initiated the meetings with the Department of Justice, answered questions for about nine hours over two days after being granted a limited form of immunity, the sources said.

NBC News White House Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Correspondent Tom Winter and Senior National Political Reporter Sahil Kapur report on new questions being raised after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met privately with Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for a second day in a row.

The Department of Justice said Tuesday it has reached out to Jeffrey Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell for a meeting amid backlash over the administration’s handling of files related to Epstein.
