Sheldon Whitehouse: Did Todd Blanche Ask Ghislaine Maxwell About the Birthday Book?

EXCERPT:

WHITEHOUSE: "We’re asking for whatever records were kept of that meeting. It would be extremely unusual for a senior Department of Justice official to go and meet with the subject of an investigation or inquiry and their lawyer, and have no note taker present, no stenographer present, no recording made of the meeting. But that may have happened. If there were some record of the meeting, we want to know what was said. Here’s a really obvious question that she should have been asked: 'You put the birthday book together for Jeffrey Epstein. The president just said that the page he put in it either didn’t exist or was a fake. Well, tell us about that page, because you assembled the book. We have the letter you wrote to Jeffrey Epstein saying, 'Here’s the book I assembled.'' So, you know, things like did that question get asked, because whether the question was asked or not asked, each is very telling."
