Chris Christie drew on his experience as a federal prosecutor Sunday as he questioned the seriousness of the Justice Department’s sudden interest in Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned accomplice and girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein.
Once considered by Trump as a potential candidate to serve as attorney general during his first presidency, Christie told ABC News’ This Week that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s direct involvement in interviewing Maxwell over the course of nine hours Thursday and Friday of last week was “highly unusual.”
