BREAKING: Attorney George Conway publicly demolishes Trump’s corrupt Assistant AG Todd Blanche over his crooked Ghislaine Maxwell dealings after he foolishly picked a fight.
A new political firestorm ignited this week after conservative attorney and longtime Trump critic George Conway publicly accused Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche of mishandling — or deliberately soft-pedaling — questioning of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, calling Blanche’s actions “either incompetent or intentionally protective of Donald Trump.”
The clash erupted on social media after fresh documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his network were released to Congress, revealing several previously unknown connections between Epstein and former President Trump. The disclosures, while incomplete, have already triggered fierce debate inside Washington, as lawmakers demand transparency from a Justice Department now controlled by Trump’s political allies.
Blanche, who previously served as Trump’s lead defense attorney during the former president’s 2024 felony trial, was appointed earlier this year as Deputy Attorney General, placing him in one of the most powerful law-enforcement positions in the federal government. His close proximity to Trump has long raised concerns among watchdog groups, but those worries amplified dramatically after revelations that Blanche conducted a private interview with Maxwell shortly before she was transferred from a Florida facility to a noticeably more lenient minimum-security camp in Texas.

Conway Torches Blanche Over “Softball” Interview
The controversy erupted when Conway posted a scathing assessment of Blanche’s handling of that interview.
“An important side note about today’s Epstein/Trump revelations,” Conway wrote. “They show that Todd Blanche’s questioning of Ghislaine Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump. Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
Conway’s comments tapped directly into growing suspicion from critics who believe the Trump-aligned Justice Department may be selectively steering investigations away from the former president’s past associations with Epstein and Maxwell. The newly released congressional files include accounts, photos, and travel entries that some lawmakers say should have been uncovered years earlier.
“If Blanche was genuinely seeking the truth,” one Democratic staffer told reporters, “he would have asked the obvious questions. Any prosecutor worth their training would have drawn a straight line between Maxwell and the names she protected.”
Conway’s argument is that Blanche’s failure was not accidental — it was strategic.
Blanche Fires Back — and Escalates the Fight
Blanche shot back at Conway late Tuesday, dismissing his criticism and suggesting Conway lacked the courtroom experience to understand the interview’s limitations.
“George, you’ve never been confused for a trial lawyer, and these kinds of posts explain why,” Blanche wrote. “When I interviewed Maxwell, law enforcement didn’t have the materials Epstein’s estate hid for years and only just provided to Congress. Stop talking. It’s unbecoming.”
Blanche’s response attempted to shift blame toward Epstein’s estate, which, according to him, withheld documents now fueling renewed scrutiny of Trump’s relationship with Epstein.
But Conway wasn’t finished.
“Dude, you didn’t even come close to asking a decent follow-up question of Maxwell,” he replied. “And I saw you at your boss’s criminal trial — the one where he was convicted on 34 felony counts. You couldn’t cross-examine your way out of a paper bag. 😀”
The exchange instantly went viral, generating millions of impressions and igniting a fresh online debate about political favoritism inside the Justice Department.
Claims of a Cover-Up Gain Momentum
Whether Blanche’s interview represented incompetence or intentional shielding, Conway’s critique is now fueling accusations that the Justice Department — staffed with Trump loyalists — may be engaged in a coordinated effort to limit political damage from the Epstein revelations.
Already, several lawmakers have called for oversight hearings.
“It is unacceptable for any administration, regardless of party, to obscure criminal connections simply because they are politically inconvenient,” said Rep. Alicia Moreno (D-CA). “The public deserves clarity.”
The limited tranche of documents released so far has revealed disturbing details about Epstein’s network, including flight logs, visitor notes, and sworn statements implicating high-profile individuals. More significantly, it appears that some of the information contradicts public claims made by Trump about his distance from Epstein after the early 2000s.
One Judiciary Committee staffer described the files as “the tip of a much larger iceberg.”
Political Stakes Rise as More Files Loom
The Justice Department has insisted that its ongoing review of Epstein-related documents is impartial and professional. Yet critics argue that Blanche’s proximity to Trump — as well as his prior role as Trump’s personal attorney — presents an undeniable conflict of interest.
Legal experts note that Blanche’s sudden private interview with Maxwell, followed shortly by her transfer to a comparatively lenient facility, raises serious questions.
“Even the appearance of impropriety undermines trust in federal law enforcement,” said former federal prosecutor Daniel Ford. “And in this case, the appearance is not subtle.”
Republican allies of the administration have dismissed the uproar as an overblown attempt to score political points. But even some conservatives have quietly expressed discomfort that the Justice Department’s leadership includes individuals who owe their careers directly to Trump’s legal battles.
The stakes continue to rise as Congress prepares for the full release of remaining files — a release both parties now say is inevitable. Lawmakers who have reviewed the classified portions describe them as “intense,” “deeply unsettling,” and “explosive.”
“If what we’ve seen so far is any indication,” another staffer said, “the full file release will change the national conversation.”
A Political Clash With Far-Reaching Implications
For now, the Conway-Blanche showdown is more than a Twitter spat — it is a symbolic fracture at the center of a much larger battle over accountability, power, and the future of the Justice Department itself.
Whether Blanche’s conduct will prompt official investigation remains unclear. But Conway’s critique has already planted a seed of doubt in the public consciousness, suggesting that the nation’s top law-enforcement institution may be selectively silent on matters that brush too close to the Oval Office.
And for millions of Americans watching the story unfold, one question now hangs over Washington:
If this is what we see in the trickle of files… what horrors remain hidden in the flood to come?
