Deputy AG Todd Blanche met with Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. How unusual is that and where does this development fit within the ongoing Epstein files saga?
This is an excerpt from this week’s Insider episode, where Preet Bharara is joined by Lawfare editor-in-chief Ben Wittes, while Joyce is out.
In the full episode, Preet and Ben break down:
– The battle over unsealing grand jury testimony in the Epstein case;
– The firing of Maurene Comey, an SDNY prosecutor and daughter of former FBI director Jim Comey;
– Whether there’s any merit to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s allegations that President Obama committed “treason” in the 2016 Russian election interference matter; and
– The Department of Defense’s findings that the information shared erroneously by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth via Signal was indeed classified.
