REPORT: Ghislaine Maxwell Vindicated Trump During Meeting With DOJ

Federal investigators in the Jeffrey Epstein case made a breakthrough this week after speaking with Ghislaine Maxwell, who offered new insights into President Donald Trump’s former relationship with the late pedophile predator.

Maxwell, who groomed young girls for Epstein’s sick pleasure for decades, reportedly told authorities that she never saw Trump in compromising situations when the two were together. The claim is a vindication for the president, who has worked to distance himself from Epstein for years — most recently in the weeks since a bombshell story by the Wall Street Journal alleging Trump once drew a crude birthday card for him.

Sources familiar with investigators’ discussions with Maxwell said she has confirmed that she never saw President Trump do anything concerning, according to ABC News. The revelation came after Maxwell met for nine hours over two days with Todd Blanche, the top deputy to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

A lawyer for Maxwell previously revealed that she had provided Blanche with a list of “about 100 different people” who she claims were around Epstein and possibly participated in the abuse of young girls, a disclosure that comes as she negotiates with prosecutors for a reduced sentence or more comfortable prison accommodations.

“The deputy attorney general is seeking the truth,” her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told reporters after their sitdown. “He asked every possible question, and he was doing an amazing job.”

Markus added that Maxwell did not ask the deputy U.S. attorney for anything in exchange, but revealed that Blanche told her that President Trump has the ability to grant her a pardon.

Soon afterward, Maxwell — who is three years into a 20-year sentence on related charges — was transferred to a minimum security prison in Texas, an “unusual” move that may portend more lenient treatment in exchange for her cooperation.

U.S. Justice Department officials have not yet explained their reasoning for the move, the NY Post reported. Meanwhile, President Trump has stated that he “hasn’t thought” about pardoning Maxwell, a decision that would provoke outrage among the families of Epstein’s countless victims.

Earlier this week, U.S. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed 10 individuals dating back to the administration of former President George W. Bush. Although he didn’t provide a reason in a social media post listing their names, it’s believed that Comer is searching for evidence about Epstein.

Some of the Bush-era individuals named, including former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, would invariably have been involved in a Non Prosecution Agreement reached with Epstein during his 2007 conviction on underage prostitution. Maxwell has contended that she was covered by the “sweetheart” deal and should not be behind bars.
