US DOJ Releases Transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell Interview

The U.S. Department of Justice, under President Donald Trump's administration, has released the full audio recordings and transcripts of a two-day interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former associate. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted the interview, which was made public to demonstrate transparency amid political pressure, although names of victims were redacted. Maxwell's statements included denying knowledge of any client list, blackmail scheme, or involvement of high-profile individuals, including Trump and Clinton, in Epstein's illicit activities. She also indicated a possible acquaintance with President Trump dating back to 1990 through her father’s connection to Trump’s then-wife Ivana. Maxwell was granted a proffer agreement, allowing her to speak without immediate prosecution, which preceded her transfer to a lower-security prison camp. This release aims to address public demand for information while the Supreme Court considers her appeal against her conviction and sentence.
