President Trump is departing Washington on Friday for a weekend trip to Scotland as furor over the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to grip the political world.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday is set to interview longtime Epstein associate and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for a second day. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell for roughly five hours Thursday and said the DOJ "will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time."
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida following a conviction on sex-trafficking charges, has signaled a willingless to speak with the administration as her legal team appeals her conviction to the Supreme Court. The DOJ has contested her appeal.
Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus said his client answered every question during her Thursday interview with Blanche at a Tallahassee courthouse and expressed gratitude to the federal government for trying to “uncover the truth.”
Trump in a social media post late Thursday slammed what he characterized as "the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM" as he seeks to turn the page on the saga, with Republicans ramping up their scrutiny of the Obama administration and the president criticizing renovations at the Federal Reserve during a visit alongside Chair Jerome Powell.
The president is expected to face some local protests when he visits Scotland this weekend, with demonstrators seeking to disrupt his trip. He plans to visit his two Scottish golf resorts on the trip to his mother's homeland.
