Audrey Strauss, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, points to a photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, during a news conference in New York on July 2, 2020.
Main Idea: The Justice Department wants to interview Ghislaine Maxwell as it faces pressure to be more open about the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Key Points:
The DOJ’s push to reopen Epstein-related records may deepen distrust in government if voters see the case as selective or too slow to deliver answers.
Interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell could help uncover new facts about crimes against victims and may improve accountability for households and communities.
