URGENT UPDATE: A newly released transcript from the U.S. Department of Justice reveals that Ghislaine Maxwell has denied witnessing any inappropriate behavior by Donald Trump linked to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein scandal. This announcement comes amid increasing scrutiny of the DOJ’s handling of Epstein-related investigations.
The transcript, made public on October 21, 2023, details Maxwell’s two-day interview with Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General and a former attorney for Trump himself. Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, stated, “I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody.”
This development is significant as it directly impacts ongoing conspiracy theories regarding Trump’s connections to Epstein, particularly among conservative circles. Maxwell also addressed speculation surrounding her knowledge of an alleged “client list” tied to Epstein’s operations, firmly stating, “I was not aware of any ‘client list’ of Epstein’s.”
In her testimony, Maxwell emphatically indicated that she had never seen Trump or any other man acting inappropriately during interactions with Epstein. She emphasized, “I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age.” However, she conceded, “I’m not saying that Mr. Epstein did not do those things… But what I can say is that I did not participate in that activity.”
This interview comes at a critical time, as the DOJ faces pressure from both the media and public figures to release more information about Epstein’s connections, including those involving Trump. The department reiterated that their review found “no incriminating client list” and indicated they would not disclose additional records related to the case.
Maxwell’s assertions could influence public perception of Trump as he navigates renewed criticism surrounding his past associations with Epstein from the 1990s and early 2000s. Despite Trump’s claims of never being involved in any wrongdoing, court testimony has placed him aboard Epstein’s private plane multiple times.
Maxwell also distanced high-profile individuals such as Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew from any direct involvement in Epstein’s crimes. The DOJ’s release of this transcript appears to be a strategic move to quell rampant speculation and address political pressure.
As the media continues to dissect the implications of this testimony, Maxwell’s ongoing legal battles and her pursuit to overturn her conviction by the U.S. Supreme Court add further complexity to this unfolding saga.
Stay tuned as we monitor this developing story and its potential impact on Trump’s political future and public perception.
