JUST IN: DOJ Releases Transcript Of Ghislaine Maxwell Interview

Published

on

The U.S. Department of Justice has released the transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s discussion with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s mistress, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of trafficking underaged girls along with Epstein.

Blanche sat down with Maxwell in a federal prison in Tallahassee, where she was being held until recently. The terms of the interview granted her limited immunity from further prosecution, unless she was found to be untruthful.

Authorities published hundreds of pages of transcripts, as well as audio recordings, on the DOJ website. In one massive takeaway, Maxwell stated that Epstein did not keep a “client list.”

The existence of a supposed list has long been a hot button topic of debate on social media. Critics have convinced themselves that Epstein kept some sort of detailed master list of all his crimes, including names of those involved, that needs to be released. Existence of such a list has never been proven, however.

Maxwell also reiterated past statements that she did not believe Epstein killed himself. According to the official report, Epstein hanged himself inside his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 before he could stand trial.

Epstein’s death has long been the subject of controversy, as he was under suicide watch at the time of his death. “I do not believe he died by suicide, no,” Maxwell said in her interview with Blanche.

“And do you believe that — do you have any speculation or view of who killed him?” the deputy attorney general followed up, to which Maxwell said she did not. “And I ask that because, if you don’t believe there’s any truth to the allegations of blackmail or that he had kind of a list, or that he had reasons to have people hate him, why would somebody kill him in prison?”

Maxwell did not give a definitive answer, speaking only to the prevalence of violence in American prisons. “Somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you for $25 worth of commissary,” she said.

President Trump has directed the Department of Justice to release all available records relating to the Epstein case, though two separate federal judges have blocked the release of grand jury materials. A third request for records is ongoing in New York after the previous two were rejected, one in Florida and a separate request in New York.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted at trial in 2021 of helping Epstein traffic teen girls. She has an ongoing appeal and has indicated that she is willing to sit for interviews with both federal prosecutors and congressional investigators.

All released information relating to Blanche’s interview with Maxwell has been uploaded to the Justice Department website.
