The Department of Justice released the audio and transcript interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, “in the interest of transparency,” in which she claims President Donald Trump “never” acted “inappropriate.”
During the two-day interview, Maxwell was interviewed by Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche about her and deceased financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
Notably, Maxwell denied the existence of a client list. She also denied that Epstein was engaging in blackmail or had ties with any intelligence agencies.
In the interview, Maxwell described the president as a “gentleman,” and did not implicate him in any wrongdoing.
“I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects,” said Maxwell.
Blanche asked Maxwell about any interactions the president may have had with masseuses.
“Did you ever hear Mr. Epstein or anybody say that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses or with anybody in your world?” Blanche asked.
“Absolutely never, in any context,” Maxwell responded.
Maxwell was also asked about a report in the Wall Street Journal published in July alleging that Trump contributed a “bawdy” birthday letter as part of a leather-bound book compiled by Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday. The president denied any letter, prompting him to file a libel lawsuit against the publication.
“Do you remember President Trump submitting a letter or a card or a note?” Blanche asked.
“I don’t,” Maxwell replied.
“Do you remember seeing that book or any portion of the letters in your discovery in New York?” Blanche pursued.
“Yes… I remember there was – there were some portions of that book. But what surprised me – yeah. What surprised me was how few there were, because I thought if you had those, where are the rest? There was none of Mr. Trump,” said Maxwell.
Blanche pressed Maxwell further.
“And do you remember – but separate and apart from your discovery, do you remember one way or the other whether President Trump submitted a letter for his 50th birthday?” he asked.
“I do not remember,” she responded.
“And the article that references the letter talks about like a – sounds like either a naked – a picture of a naked woman or something like that. Do you have any recollection of that,” Blanche asked again.
“I do not. But just – no, I don’t,” Maxwell responded.
Maxwell was also pressed on the relationship between Epstein, herself, and the Clintons.
“Do you know whether, for example, President Clinton ever received a massage?” asked Blanche.
“I don’t believe he did,” she answered.
“And what makes you say you don’t believe he did?” Blanche asked.
“Well, because I don’t – so that’s a good question. The time that Epstein and President Clinton spent together, the only times I believe – well, obviously they traveled. There was that, you know, the plane, they went on the plane 26 times or whatever. That would be one journey. So they spent time on the plane together, and I don’t believe there was ever a massage on the plane. So that would’ve been the only time that I think that President Clinton could have even received a massage. And he didn’t, because I was there,” Maxwell claimed.
Maxwell was also asked about several other prominent figures, including tech leaders, Hollywood entertainers, scientists and royalty.
How dumb does Trump think we are?
The left puts it on full display daily.
87% of my patients are from the left, Dan.
My bread is buttered by Democrats. Most of my spoils come from government healthcare. The only ones that I’m able to find remedies for, and sometimes cure, are the out-of-pocket patients. Financial motivation really does work in the mental health business.
How does a statement from Maxwell (Not Trump) justify your comment in any way?
But of course, says the woman looking for a pardon. Nothing to see here.
Lots of TDS here.
You hit the nail square on Wayne. TDS is a plague.
Yes indeed it is, especially with those that conflate ANY criticism of Trump with a disorder.
Cman , In America you are presumed innocent until proven guilty . Your supposition about trumps guilt is a stain on your honor when you have no proof to back your accusations . Just slander .
First hand Witness testimony proclaims him innocent. Your made up accusations against him and his supporters are fantasy.
Do the world a favor and stop spreading mistruths and fouling the minds of good people.
So true! I was in error by daring to speak against the Dear Leader. Any dissent against Him should be met with a prison sentence!!
The pardon master has already left the stage.
Absolutely NO one can match Joe’s record of freeing criminals and putting them back on the streets with a pat on the back.
That woman should have never been convicted.
Seriously, convicted of running a child sex trafficking ring to… no one? If you are trafficking anything, it has to be to someone, but she apparently had zero clients. I guess by that standard, everyone here is equally guilty of the same crime.
Of course, Ghislaine is an honorable and totally honest person . She would never say or do anything that wasn’t honest, sincere and above board.
Applies equally well to every single person every charged with any criminal offense of any magnitude. In other words, everyone.
Awaiting our local leftists to plug their ears and go” lalalalalala! I can’t HEAR you!”
Bahahahahah! Have you read the transcripts?!?! Totally fake, you can’t believe a word coming out of her mouth.
And if Trump was a gentleman, he has nothing to hide, RELEASE THE FILES!
Liz,
Release the files? Are we talking about the files that Biden had for 4 years, those files? It’s a wonder that the democrats, those in charge the last 4 years didn’t release the same. Especially so if there was evidence of Trump acting badly…
Clearly these files that you make reference too have been sanitized to protect their friends. I like what Trump’s people are calling for, a release of the Grand Jury records against Epstein.
Lastly, it is baffling that the avowed party of groomers, pushing cruel sexual mutilation on children is now so concerned about pedophilia
Release it all. Who cares if the Democrats held on to it for so many years, let’s not dwell on the past and let the current administration be fully transparent. If I recall, Trump ran on full transparency. And if these so called Democrat groomers are in the files, people need to know.
Yeah guys, if Robert Maxwell’s daughter says it it must be true. Lmao
Trump might not have behaved inappropriately years ago in front of Ghislaine Maxwell, but he is certainly behaving inappropriately now by launching a litany of retributive tactics against those who have the nerve to speak publicly or demonstrate forcefully against him. The intimidation, punishment, legal threats, and totalitarian tactics he is planning or has already undertaken are clear signs of the danger he poses to our country and all of us.
Danger? In the meantime Trump is the only leader pursuing peace in the Ukraine/Russia conflict not to mention several other skirmishes in SE Asia. BTW, Democrats had control of those files for four years yet sat on them…why?
6 days after their meeting in Anchorage, Putin hit Ukraine with a new wave of attacks. So, while kudos to an attempt on Trump, it didn’t work. He has continually given Putin too much slack.
Have you wondered why the several skirmishes is SE Asia are happening while Trump is in office? I have.
And yes, while the democrats sat on the files, Trump campaigned that he would release them. If he has nothing to hide…..
“…The intimidation, punishment, legal threats, and totalitarian tactics…”
No different than any other administration over the last 30 years. Because “Trump!” it is just getting the news coverage.
Only you, Mannie. Only you. You have TDS, old boy.
Pardoning the J6’ers was bad enough. Now Trump’s gonna set free a person convicted of sexual exploitation and abuse minor girls? All you Christian MAGA types really OK with that?
FREE THE FILES.
Convicted of trafficking underage girls for sex to… who?
No one apparently.
She should never have been convicted in the first place without a list of clients. You cannot be guilty of trafficking in anything unless you are trafficking it to a client.
Tell that to her jury.
Likely the same people who deemed Trump was guilty of fraud when he took out a loan the bank willingly offered, paid it back, and no one was harmed in any way.
Telli it to the judge refusing to release them, except he’s one of your pals,who just wants to keep this in the news as a political cudgel
There’s no list, but Maxwell just negotiated a move into a relatively cushy minimum-security detention facility because she’s a convicted serial sexual predator of young girls. Why? Because that’s just how our current DOJ treats sex crimes against children? This is more proof that a list most definitely exists, whether Trump is on it or not! Release the list!
A good “Madame” knows how to keep her mouth shut.
Guess who’s angling for a pardon?
After all, it was Epstein that was the guy that was morally compromised, right? The rest is collateral damage, no?
