Ghislaine Maxwell, the former assistant to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, confirmed to the Department of Justice (DOJ) that she “never saw” President Donald Trump be “inappropriate with anybody.”
On Friday, the DOJ released audio and transcripts from two days of interviews with Maxwell that were “led by” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the New York Post (NYP) reported. The interviews took place in July in Tallahassee, Florida. In the aftermath of the interviews with Blanche, Maxwell was moved to a “minimum security camp” in Texas.
Per the NYP, Maxwell “provided virtually no new information” on other people associated with Epstein, such as former President Bill Clinton:
Maxwell, 63, provided virtually no new information on other boldfaced names associated with Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, former Harvard University President Larry Summers, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
“Did you ever observe President Trump receive a massage?” Blanche asked, according to one transcript.
“Never,” Maxwell responded.
“Did you ever observe — you said that you — you were — I mean, have you seen the — there’s photographs, public photographs of Mr. Epstein and President Trump together,” Blanche added.
Maxwell responded by confirming, and when Blanche went on to point out that she had been in “some of the photographs” in social settings, Maxwell confirmed. Maxwell continued to add that she was unsure of “the nature of” Trump and Epstein’s relationship, adding that she thinks “they were friendly like people are in social settings.”
