Ghislaine Maxwell engaged in 'significant pattern of dishonest conduct,' DOJ said in 2022 (abcnews.go.com)

Ghislaine Maxwell engaged in a "significant pattern of dishonest conduct," enabled and participated in the abuse of multiple teenage girls, and failed to take responsibility for her crimes.

That was the assessment of the federal prosecutors who brought a criminal case against the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein and sent her to prison for 20 years.

Now, three years later -- and amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files -- the Department of Justice has decided to approach Maxwell, 63, to purportedly learn more about her knowledge of whether Epstein's sex trafficking extended to people other than himself.

"In short, the defendant has lied repeatedly about her crimes, exhibited an utter failure to accept responsibility, and demonstrated repeated disrespect for the law and the Court," federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York wrote in June 2022.

Well just because somebody was dishonest to the DOJ back then, doesn't mean they will lie now that everybody at the DOJ is also dishonest.
