Ghislaine Maxwell, once an associate of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, has made a significant statement to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding President Donald Trump.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a prison sentence for her role in Epstein's criminal activities, asserted that she "never saw" President Trump act "inappropriate with anybody." This revelation came to light following the DOJ's release of audio and transcripts from Maxwell's interviews, which took place over two days in July in Tallahassee, Florida.
According to Breitbart, these interviews were conducted under the supervision of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Following the discussions, Maxwell was transferred to a "minimum security camp" in Texas. Despite the high-profile nature of the case, Maxwell reportedly offered "virtually no new information" about other prominent figures linked to Epstein, such as former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and others.
This lack of new insights has left many questions unanswered about the extent of Epstein's connections with influential individuals.
During the interviews, Blanche inquired whether Maxwell had ever seen President Trump receive a massage, to which she replied, "Never." Blanche also referenced public photographs of Epstein and Trump together, noting Maxwell's presence in some of these images.
Maxwell confirmed her presence but expressed uncertainty about the depth of Trump and Epstein's relationship, suggesting they were merely "friendly like people are in social settings." She further clarified, "I dont think they were close friends or I certainly never witnessed the President in any of I dont recall ever seeing him in his house, for instance."
Maxwell emphasized her stance by stating, "I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting," and reiterated that she "never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way." She described President Trump as "a gentleman in all respects" during her interactions with him.
In a related development, Breitbart News highlighted that Maxwell's legal team, in response to a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee, expressed a willingness to cooperate with Congress under certain conditions. Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, indicated that Maxwell initially intended to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights but later considered cooperating if "a fair and safe path forward can be established."
Maxwell's legal troubles began with her conviction in December 2021 on charges of sex trafficking minors, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Her family has since voiced concerns about the fairness of her trial, asserting that she "did not receive a fair trial."
As the legal proceedings continue, the public remains eager for more information about the connections between Epstein and various high-profile individuals. Maxwell's statements, while shedding some light on her interactions with President Trump, have not yet provided the comprehensive answers many are seeking.
