Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is expected to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday, after Congress issued a subpoena to the long-time associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

His comments come after Trump's top envoy, Steve Witkoff, said yesterday that he was pulling the U.S. team of negotiators out of Doha, Qatar, after Hamas' latest response in the talks, saying it "clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza."

Last year, a federal appeals court upheld Maxwell’s sentence. In April, she asked the Supreme Court to take up her case. Just last week, as the maelstrom swirled around the case, the DOJ asked the justices not to review her convictions.
