Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing negative about President Donald Trump during her nine hour interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, ABC News reported on Wednesday.
According to ABC’s sources, Maxwell told Blanche that “Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern.”
The jailhouse interview took place over two days, last month.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering releasing the transcripts from the interview to the public, but it’s not clear whether the administration plans to release the audio recording of the interview.
Maxwell, an associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022, which she was serving at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her recent move to a more relaxed federal prison camp in Texas. She is appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump supposedly has not ruled out a pardon for her, according to ABC.
In August of 2019, nearly 2,000 court documents detailing Epstein’s trafficking of teenage girls in Palm Beach, New York and overseas were unsealed in a federal civil case in New York. Shortly thereafter, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.
His death was ruled a suicide and the Trump Justice Department agreed with those findings in a memo, last month, but many still believe “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”
Following his first day of meeting with Maxwell, Blanche posted on X that “The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.”
When asked during an interview with Newsmax last week when the interview transcript would be made public, Trump replied: “I don’t know, because I haven’t spoken about it, but he’s a very talented guy, Todd Blanche, and a very straight shooter, and I think he probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt. And I would assume that was why he was there. I want to release everything. I just don’t want people to get hurt.”
