President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is asking the top election official in the key battleground state of Michigan for access to voter registration records and demanding information about its efforts to kick ineligible voters off the rolls.

The U.S. Justice Department office tasked with protecting peoples' civil rights has lost 368 employees since President Donald Trump took office, in a mass exodus that has coincided with a dramatic policy shift away from its historical mission of protecting marginalized populations.

Federal officials are seeking Wisconsin voter registration data as part of a broader effort to gather information about elections in states.

The request from the justice department to interview Ghislaine Maxwell is just the latest attempt from the Trump administration to satisfy the loud clamour for more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case that is coming from the president’s own supporters.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer confirmed Tuesday there were discussions with the government and says Maxwell will always testify truthfully.

The Department of Justice said Tuesday it has reached out to Jeffrey Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell for a meeting amid backlash over the administration’s handling of files related to Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted in 2021 for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom and abuse underage girls.

Officials say they want to ask Maxwell "what do you know?", as her lawyers confirm they are in discussions with the government.
