Ben Meiselas 0:00
Wow, so Guelane Maxwell now fears for her life. It seems she's afraid that Donald Trump may try to kill her or send people to kill her. This after Donald Trump's Department of Justice says that they're going to be meeting with her. Donald Trump's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, I believe it's very threatening her statement. She says that I am personally the attorney general. Attorney General of the United States. I am personally going to speak with Ghillane Maxwell. Then the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, who happens to also have been Donald Trump's criminal defense attorney during the case where Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts. He's now the number two at the Department of Justice. He says he's also going to meet with Guelane Maxwell along with F.

FBI agent. So Ghilane is absolutely terrified something's going to happen to her the way something happened to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, the official report with Jeffrey Epstein is that he died by suicide. But Ghilane Maxwell says: no way he died by suicide. He didn't expect he was going to even be convicted based on the non-prosecution agreement that he entered into with Donald Trump's former labor secretary. Then United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta, and that there was no reason why she thinks Epstein would ever have died by suicide. So the Daily Mail got the exclusive that she fears for her life. This, by the way, comes from her brother, who says that he's been told by Delane that she's afraid someone's going to uh kill her.

Here's how the Daily Mail uh reports it. Last Last week, Daily Mail revealed exclusively that Epstein's longtime girlfriend and right hand woman, Maxwell63, is willing to speak in front of Congress about the Epstein files. Now, her brother, Ian, is revealing her sister's frame of mind in the wake of the botched release of all of the files. Now, another important thing to note a MAGA Republican Congress member who actually wants the files released. Congress member Tim Burchett, he snuck in a voice vote to have a subpoena issued for Ghislaine Maxwell when some of the other MAGA Republicans were not paying attention and able to block it. So he was able to get Democrats and Republicans to do to vote for the subpoena of Ghilane Maxwell.
Ben Meiselas 2:26
So as soon as that subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition From Congress went out or was issued, then MAGA Mike Johnson shuts down Congress. He says, We're going into recess, we're leaving. And then I'll show you this clip in a little bit. MAGA Mike Johnson says, the reason we're doing this is we need to give Donald Trump space to figure out how he's going to handle the Epstein situation. And what Donald Trump's attorney general, uh Pam Bondi, then And said she was going to do. And Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, now deputy attorney general, they're saying they're personally meeting with her, and she's absolutely terrified right now. So here's more from this Daily Mail story.

Let's bring out all the receipts here, folks. Ian Maxwell communicates regularly with Ghilaine Maxwell in jail on the phone. And she told the time she fears for her safety. Prisons are very dangerous places, and we know from Ghilaine that there are serious staff shortages and more dangerous higher risk category prisoners now being admitted to Tallahassee, said Ian Maxwell. For sure, she remains at great, if not greater, risk, and has expressed her real concerns about this to me. He also said his older sister believes that Epstein may have been murdered, contradicting the DOJ and FBI's belief in the official theory that he committed suicide. The contemporaneous investigation of Epstein's death was cut short, cursory, and frankly shoddy.
Ben Meiselas 3:57
Certainly as As regards the duty's guard story the night he died, at least one distinguished independent forensic pathologist uh concurred with the Epstein family appointed pathologist that homicide was more likely than suicide, he added. So here's the statement now from Pam Bondi. After she said she was not releasing any lists or files, and then Donald Trump said it was all a hoax created by James.
