“Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability,” attorney David Oscar Markus told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, where Maxwell met with Blanche.

A Florida federal judge on Wednesday declined to release additional grand jury documents from the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, marking the first roadblock in the Justice Department’s efforts to quell the public backlash over the handling of the case.

In a separate court, a judge denied a request from convicted Epstein associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, to view grand jury transcripts on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmaye said there is “no compelling necessity” for Maxwell to access the materials.

Judge Robin L. Rosenberg said she could not legally grant the Justice Department’s request to release the testimony of witnesses who appeared before the grand jury.
