The US justice department has asked Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, for a meeting with its prosecutors, officials said.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said prosecutors planned to ask Maxwell, "What do you know?", and that he intends to meet her "soon".
Maxwell's legal team told the BBC they were in discussions with the government and she would "always testify truthfully".
Calls for more transparency in the Epstein case have intensified recently, including from supporters of President Donald Trump. Despite the pressure, House Speaker Mike Johnson said his chamber would not vote on the release of further files in the case until September.
Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal attorney in his 2024 criminal trial, said that DOJ and FBI's 6 July statement on Epstein "remains accurate".
That statement noted that a recent, thorough review of FBI records related to the Epstein case uncovered "no evidence to predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties".
"This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," Blanche said on Tuesday.
"If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say," he added.
Speaking to the media from the Oval Office, Trump said interviewing Maxwell "sounds appropriate to do."

She should be out soon. She understands leverage. But if you believe that you believe the government has nothing.
ROFLMAO. This is how they end up releasing her while the blackmail continues.
Maxwell: “I know nothing”.
DOJ: “Okay, thanks. Have a nice day”.
Farce… pure farce.
Wait, what??? Who prosecuted Maxwell?
And if any of you homos tell me to read the article, I'll kill ya.
14 terabytes of data… but we really won’t know what happened until we talk to the Mossad madame?
Idiots
“Lighten up, Francis” :-)
Why are the Republicans fighting all of this?
Q: “Do you support the Justice Dept. seeking an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell?”
TRUMP: “I don’t know anything about it...”
Q: “The deputy Attorney General has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney.”
TRUMP: “It sounds appropriate to do...I don’t really follow that too much...The witch hunt you should be talking about is they caught President Obama...”
Got it. And nobody is going to call you francis.
“And if any of you homos tell me to read the article, I’ll kill ya.”
Lighten up, Francis.
😉
We’re about to get hoodwinked. They’ll offer her a commutation in exchange for saying that Trump and no major Republican donor did anything wrong with Epstein.
I want to believe Trump is personally clean on this but it sure seems like he’s at least protecting other powerful people. I hate it.
What took them so long. Whatever she has to say, it’s worth hearing.
Why were the Democrats ignoring all of this for four years? I can speculate that they were Epstein’s best customers, and Ghislain knows them all by name, list or no list.
Republicans didn’t want to prosecute the johns. They just wanted to blackmail them into compliance with their agenda, a la J. Edgar Hoover. So naturally, they would fight public disclosure.
