Plenty of people are out to get Donald Trump. But they can’t seem to win.
Now a key witness completely exonerated Donald Trump in a twist that is dropping jaws.
Ghislaine Maxwell Denies Trump Misconduct, Challenges Epstein Su*cide in DOJ Interviews
Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for s*x trafficking and conspiracy, told Justice Department officials in July interviews that President Donald Trump exhibited no inappropriate behavior during their interactions in the 1990s and early 2000s, when Trump was an associate of her former partner, Jeffrey Epstein.
The two-day interviews, conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in Tallahassee, Florida, were made public on August 22, through audio and transcripts released by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Maxwell, convicted in December 2021, addressed longstanding allegations about Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail cell on August 10, 2019, seeking to clarify Trump’s association with the disgraced financier and refute conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s activities.
Maxwell’s Statements on Epstein and Trump
Maxwell firmly denied claims of a “client list” involving influential figures like former President Bill Clinton, describing such narratives as a “Salem witch trial” frenzy that misconstrued Epstein’s lifestyle.
“It’s bananas,” she stated, acknowledging Epstein’s crimes against minors while rejecting exaggerated portrayals of a shadowy blackmail ring. She emphasized that Epstein operated a legitimate business, though she called him “a disgusting guy who did terrible things to young kids.”
On Epstein’s death, officially ruled a suicide by the DOJ and FBI in a July 6, memo, Maxwell expressed skepticism, stating, “I do not believe he died by su*cide.”
She suggested his death could be linked to an “internal situation” in the prison, citing the low cost of orchestrating a hit—around $25 in commissary items—but dismissed notions of a blackmail-related motive.
Congressional Review and Ongoing Implications
The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, received the Maxwell interview transcripts among tens of thousands of pages of Epstein-related documents from the DOJ on August 22, following a formal request.
A committee spokesperson noted that the records will undergo thorough review to redact victim identities and sensitive material, with consultation from the DOJ to avoid impacting ongoing investigations.
The release of Maxwell’s statements aims to address public speculation about Epstein’s network, which has persisted since his 2008 guilty plea in Florida for soliciting s*x from a minor, resulting in a 13-month sentence with work release.
The interviews provide a rare perspective from Maxwell, who remains a central figure in the Epstein case, as authorities continue to navigate its complex legal and public implications.
