Ghislaine Maxwell Hints Epstein-Diana Setup in DOJ Interview

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, claimed in a recent interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that Jeffrey Epstein may have been introduced to Princess Diana in a possible 'set up' arranged by Rosa Monckton, although Maxwell denied introducing Epstein to British royals herself. The Justice Department's release of the interview transcripts has sparked outrage from the family of Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein survivor who died by suicide, criticizing the DOJ for allowing Maxwell to 'rewrite history' without challenge and for moving her to a minimum-security prison, which they say sends a disturbing message about child sex trafficking. Maxwell described President Donald Trump as "a gentleman in all respects" and only "friendly in social settings" with Epstein, denying awareness of any improper activity by Trump. When questioned about a birthday book Epstein compiled for his 50th birthday with contributions from various high-profile individuals, Maxwell could not recall if Trump, then a private citizen, had sent a letter or note, a claim that contrasts with a Wall Street Journal report alleging Trump’s involvement, which Trump has vehemently denied and filed a lawsuit over. The DOJ interview also reflects ongoing tensions around the narratives related to Epstein’s network and those connected to it, with Maxwell's lawyers expressing openness to a presidential pardon, while Trump has not committed to considering one. These developments continue to fuel public debate over accountability and justice in the Epstein case.
