The DOJ’s decision to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell after years of declaring the Epstein investigation closed is being met with deep skepticism. Critics argue that the timing—coinciding with mounting public and congressional pressure over the Epstein cover-up—suggests this is less about justice and more about optics.
