The Justice Department on Friday made public transcripts from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the former accomplice to Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, provided no incriminating information on high-profile individuals including Donald Trump, according to the bombshell testimony released Friday afternoon.
‘The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects,’ insisted the criminal who’s likely angling for a presidential pardon.
She also revealed she has no knowledge of a so-called ‘client list,’ which has been used a speculation by conspiracy theorists that her old friend was murdered even though his death was ruled a suicide.
‘There is no list,’ Maxwell insisted to Blanche in her nine-hours of interviews last month. ‘The genesis of that story, I can actually trace for you from its absolute inception.’
She also told Blanche in the bombshell interview that she believes another inmate may have killed Epstein, which flies in the face of claims his death was part of a conspiracy to prevent any blackmail.
‘I do not believe he died by suicide, no,’ she said in recordings of the interviews. ‘If it is indeed murder, I believe it was an internal situation.’
Maxwell has previously stated that she believes her former associated was murdered.
Release of the hours of interviews with Maxwell come the same day that the Justice Department transmitted to Congress thousands of pages of documents related to the late child sex offender.
Maxwell’s DOJ interview took place last month in Florida and lasted more than nine hours.
Maxwell says she does not think that Epstein committed suicide and also that she is not aware of some ‘client list’
In her July sit-down, Maxwell told investigators she may have first met Trump in 1990 through her late father Robert Maxwell, who ‘liked him very much’ and was fond of his first wife Ivana Trump because of her Czech background.
When pressed about allegations she recruited a Mar-a-Lago employee to meet Epstein, Maxwell claimed she couldn’t remember but admitted it was ‘not impossible’ since she frequently approached spa workers.
Maxwell’s testimony acknowledges that her father, Robert Maxwell, had a background in intelligence during World War II as a British officer, and she believes he continued to help people in intelligence contexts, though he was not formally employed by an agency.
She insists her father and Jeffrey Epstein never met.
Maxwell is currently serving 20 years behind bars for her 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges related to helping Epstein abuse teenage girls, though she has filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Her lawyers claim Maxwell was covered under a 2007 plea deal that Epstein reached in his Florida sex offender case.
Blanche interviewed Maxwell on July 24 and 25 for a combined nine hours at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee, Florida.
At the time of the interviews she was serving her sentence at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee. Just days after her sit-down, Maxwell was transferred to minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas.
Maxwell told Blanche that Prince Andrew often stayed at Epstein’s properties and described him as someone who ‘relished Jeffrey’s hospitality.’
She also said that Epstein was ‘proud to flaunt royal connections,’ making Andrew a useful social asset.
During her time with Blanche, she also addressed financial matters, disputing that over $30 million sent from Epstein to her was simply for personal gain, citing some funds tied to a helicopter she never owned, and admitted to having banking licenses and day-trading in the 1990s, where she made significant profits, including millions from Epstein-financed Palm Beach real estate flips.
The Epstein saga has sparked an uprising from Trump’s MAGA base who are furious with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the review
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, August 22 that there are ‘innocent’ people in the Epstein files
