Ghislaine Maxwell Denies Witnessing Inappropriate Trump Conduct in DOJ Interview

Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed associate of Jeffrey Epstein, told U.S. investigators she never witnessed any inappropriate or illegal behavior by President Donald Trump, describing their interactions as cordial and limited to social settings. Maxwell denied the existence of an Epstein 'client list' and dismissed claims of a blackmail scheme involving powerful individuals. She also expressed skepticism about Epstein's official cause of death, stating she does not believe he committed suicide but refrained from speculating on who might be responsible. The Justice Department released redacted transcripts and audio from Maxwell's interviews as part of an effort by the Trump administration to address transparency concerns amid ongoing public scrutiny. Maxwell characterized the allegations linking Epstein to prominent figures as a ‘‘Salem witch trial’’ fueled by public hysteria, while reaffirming her admiration for President Trump. Additionally, thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein have been provided to a House Oversight commission, though their contents remain undisclosed.
