August 23, 2025 - Washington, D.C. — On Friday, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a statement following the Department of Justice’s public release of transcript and audio from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell: 

“Ghislaine Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and known liar. Her interview with Trump’s DOJ lawyer shows she's desperate for a pardon. She claims no involvement in wrongdoing, which is insulting to the girls and young women she victimized and trafficked. She cannot be trusted.”
