A top Justice Department official met with Ghislaine Maxwell Thursday in Florida, where the convicted madam is serving out a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking young girls to Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — DOJ’s second-in-command and formerly President Trump’s defense lawyer — huddled all day with the disgraced British socialite and her lawyer at the US Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee, sources familiar with the matter told The Post.

“Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche wrote on X.

Epstein’s madam “honestly answered every question” Blanche asked, according to her lawyer David Oscar Markus.

“Looking forward to another productive day tomorrow. Ghislaine honestly answered every question that
@DAGToddBlanche asked. And she will continue to do so. We are grateful that the government is trying to uncover the truth. They have never before spoken with her and we trust the process,” he wrote on X.

Maxwell is serving a two-decade-long sentence in the Sunshine State after a Manhattan jury convicted her of grooming young girls by serving as Epstein’s right-hand-woman, helping him lure young women into his twisted sexual web.

It’s unclear what Maxwell and Blanche discussed — or whether anything the convicted predator says would be considered credible.

Neither Blanche nor the DOJ responded to requests for comment following the meeting.

Blanche said earlier this week that he’d be meeting with Maxwell to see if she would be willing to reveal more to the feds about the late sex offender amid a renewed outcry for more information on Epstein.

The DOJ in 2022 expressed doubts that Maxwell could be truthful, accusing her in court papers of a “significant pattern of dishonest conduct” and failing to take responsibility for her heinous crimes.

The feds also disclosed in court papers ahead of Maxwell’s 2021 trial that prosecutors had never seriously entertained working out a plea deal with her in exchange for her testimony.

The meeting comes amid pressure on the Trump administration to release more information about the government’s probe into Epstein, who died in federal custody after his arrest in 2019. 

US Attorney Pam Bondi vowed earlier this year to release a cache of Epstein files, which include possibly juicy information on what the feds seized from the financier’s mansions. But she later backtracked, saying that no further disclosures would be warranted.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi had informed Trump that his name was among several high-profile names mentioned somewhere in the files, though it’s unclear in what context the president’s name came up.

The late pedophile socialized with Trump for years before the pair had a falling out in 2004. 

Epstein was also friends with other politicians and celebrities, including former President Bill Clinton. Both Trump and Clinton have denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s sick schemes.

Trump has the power to offer Maxwell a sentence commutation or even a full pardon — though there could be a political cost to freeing a convicted child sex trafficker from prison, legal experts told The Post.

Former prosecutors described Thursday’s meeting as highly unusual.

“If Todd Blanche, now running the DOJ and formerly Trump’s personal lawyer, is personally meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, it suggests something far outside the norm,” said Duncan Levin, a former Brooklyn federal prosecutor turned defense lawyer.

“This isn’t some career prosecutor following protocol,” Levin added. “It’s a direct line from Trump’s inner circle to one of the most infamous inmates in the country.”

It raises real questions about whether this is about national interest or political interest. A sentence commutation can only come from the president, and if Blanche is getting involved at this level, you have to ask: what does Trump think Maxwell has that’s worth cutting a deal over?”

Blanche, for his part, has vowed to follow whatever investigative leads may arise as a result of the meeting. 

“No one is above the law — and no lead is off-limits,” he posted on social media this week.

The DOJ could also make what’s called a “Rule 35 motion” in a bid to reduce Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for her information, but such a move would need a sign-off from a federal judge.

“If the DOJ concludes that Maxwell has assisted the investigation, it can ask the Court to resentence her based on her cooperation,” said Arlo Devlin-Brown, a former supervisor in the Manhattan federal prosecutors’ office, and co-founder of the law firm Treanor Devlin Brown.

“It would be up to the Court, though, to determine whether resentencing is warranted and how much of  a break — if any — to give her,” Devlin-Brown said.
