BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell Hands Over ‘100 Names’ To Trump DOJ
Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell handed authorities documentation alleging that at least “100 different people” were within the late pedophile’s orbit, a bombshell disclosure that comes after two meetings with a top official from the U.S. Justice Department.
The disclosure aligns with concerns expressed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and others that figures in the periphery of Epstein’s abuse may become ensnared if the government releases tranches of new documents in the case.
By offering up the evidence, Maxwell has laid all her cards on the table, making good on a promise to deliver new information to the DOJ in exchange for consideration around a reduced sentence. She is currently serving 20 years for grooming hundreds or thousands of underage girls Jeffrey Epstein later abused over decades.
Reference to the names comes after Maxwell was spotted returning to her prison in Florida after visiting with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche at a DOJ office in Tallahassee. Video footage showed Maxwell, 63, lugging a large box that may have contained some of the documents; however, photographic evidence made it difficult to determine what was inside.

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Bondi previously warned Trump that his name appeared on several occasions in documents from the government’s investigation. Trump reportedly deferred to Bondi and the DOJ about whether it was appropriate to release them, and White House aides emphasized that Trump was not concerned, given previous revelations about his friendship with Epstein.
Both Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have warned that further disclosures run the risk of identifying abuse victims or innocent parties, some of whom may be named in the documents handed over by Maxwell on Friday.
President Trump, speaking with reporters on Friday morning, said he hasn’t spent much time considering Maxwell’s request for a pardon, while indicating he’s against doing so.
More names from the investigation materialized on Thursday, including new references to former President Bill Clinton, Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang, media owner Mort Zuckerman, and billionaire and former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold.
They and others are said to have contributed to a book of congratulatory messages for Epstein’s 50th birthday, one of which allegedly was written by Trump.
Clinton praised Epstein for his “childlike curiosity” while Myhrvold allegedly added to the book several photos from a recent trip to Africa, which showed monkeys mating and the erect penis of a zebra.
“They seemed more appropriate than anything I could put in words,” his letter allegedly states.
A spokesman for Myhrvold said he couldn’t recall the specifics of any message left for Epstein, but noted that he “regularly shares photos of and writes about animal behavior.”
