The Epstein accomplice met with a top Justice Department official and answered "every single question," her lawyer said.

By Andrew Chung (Reuters) -Even as an uproar over files relating to Jeffrey Epstein engulfs President Donald Trump and Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court is due to wade into the controversy and decide whether to hear a bid by an associate of the late financier and convicted sex offender to overturn her criminal conviction.

Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and a senior Justice Department official met Friday. Here's how to pronounce her first name correctly.

Although the meeting with the Department of Justice isn't occurring there, eyes are turning to the state capital's federal women's prison that houses Ghislaine Maxwell, former girlfriend to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and herself a convicted sex trafficker.

Experts say they're bewildered by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's decision to interview Ghislaine Maxwell.
