Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, told a top Justice Department official that she never observed President Donald Trump engaging in improper or illegal behavior during his association with Epstein, according to interview transcripts released Friday.

The interviews, conducted over two days in late July with Todd Blanche — a former Trump defense attorney and then-deputy attorney general nominee — offer new insight into Maxwell’s perspective while raising questions about her credibility.

Currently serving a 20-year sentence for aiding Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls, Maxwell has been seeking a sentence reduction, giving her incentive to portray Trump in a favorable light.

Criticism From Victims

Epstein’s victims and families blasted the interviews, arguing they resembled a “sweetheart deal” that rewarded Maxwell for painting powerful figures positively.

Maxwell’s Statements

During the Florida courthouse sessions, Maxwell denied any hidden lists or blackmail operations tied to Epstein and insisted Trump had no involvement in Epstein’s crimes:

“I actually never saw the president in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.”

She dismissed conspiracy theories alleging coercion or intelligence operations, stating bluntly:

“There is no list.”

Praise for Trump

Maxwell repeatedly emphasized Trump’s conduct:

“The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”

She also echoed authorities’ findings on Epstein’s 2019 death, suggesting it was not a cover-up but a suicide.

Other Names Raised

Blanche’s questions focused on Epstein’s wider social circle. Maxwell denied wrongdoing by others, asserting that many high-profile figures were around Epstein for social or business reasons, not for “sexual favors.”

She cited names such as Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, John F. Kerry, Sarah Ferguson, and Kevin Spacey, emphasizing their connections were not criminal.

When asked about alleged ties to intelligence services like Mossad, she replied:

“Well, not deliberately.”

Prison Transfer

Following the interview, Maxwell was moved from a restrictive Florida prison to a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas, easing her incarceration conditions as her remarks continue to fuel debate over her credibility and motives.
