Two things:
- DOJ/FBI stand by the conclusions reached in the July 6 joint statement.
- DOJ is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask, "What do you know?"

Talking to her is like trying to focus on a single glint of color bouncing off of an ocean wave while solving a Rubik's Cube.
Her deposition from the Guiffre lawsuit is here if you want to see some examples of what I mean.

I'm sure investigators attempted to have conversations with her, at least initially, but she refused or played ignorant, and those conversations went nowhere.
Her defense in trial relied upon impeaching the testimony of witnesses brought by the prosecution, saying the government had not proven their case against her and that she was being made a scapegoat for Epstein.
Her appeal relies on the 2007 NPA applying to her.

And that deposition I linked above could potentially cause problems for her and current prosecutors seeking to extract information and eventually testimony against others.

Names they "cracked" from the deposition. 
In the deposition, Ghislaine Maxwell maintained that she had no knowledge of abuse. She said,
"I don't know" ~98x
"I don't recall" ~65x
"I don't recollect" ~39x
She also called into question the accuracy of the flight logs.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe her LOL.
I think she knows almost as much as Epstein did, and that seeking information from her after she's spent five years in federal lockup is an effort well worth the undertaking.

I also think that her conviction and 20-year sentence were well less than she deserves.
Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 30-50 years.

So for her to NOW start recalling flights and meetings, start recollecting associates and visitors, and start having knowledge of criminal abuse by others would be quite the shift.
Her past statements would be a vulnerability for defense attorneys to attack and an obstacle for prosecutors to overcome.

I do think this DOJ is very interested in fully running the evidence they have to ground as part of their review, and it makes sense to approach Maxwell as part of that work.
I also think that it is less about this
And more about this
In the infowar/cogwar, determining what is false is the heavier, but absolutely necessary, workload before us all.
Filtering the fake from the real.
It must be done so that we can get to what is true.
