At Todd Blanche's Senate confirmation hearing, Cory Booker asks whether Blanche's interview with Ghislaine Maxwell led to any new charges. Blanche says no, refuses to say yes or no on new investigations, and denies discussing a pardon, clemency or a transfer with Maxwell or her attorneys. Booker then says that one week after the meeting, Maxwell was moved from a low-security federal institution to a minimum-security prison camp.

Did your interview with Ms. Maxwell lead to a single additional person being charged yes or no? No. Did it lead to a single new investigation yes or no? I can't talk about whether there's any investigation. I'm not asking you about an ongoing or closed investigation. I'm just asking you about this on YouTube. I can't answer your question yes or no. Did you or anyone else from the DOJ or associated with the president discuss a presidential pardon with Galeen Maxwell or her attorneys? No. Did you discuss clemency, yes or no? No. Did you discuss her transfer to another institution, yes or no? No. Well, just one week after your meeting, Ms. Maxwell was transferred from a low -security federal institution to a minimum security prison camp?
