Overview
- The Justice Department published transcripts and audio of Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison interview conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who previously served as President Trump’s personal lawyer.
- In the recordings, Maxwell said she never witnessed President Trump behave inappropriately and denied seeing non-consensual sexual activity or sex involving minors.
- House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said on Fox News that the transcript confirms Trump did nothing wrong, praising the release as complete and exculpatory.
- The family of the late Virginia Giuffre criticized the DOJ for giving Maxwell a platform to ‘rewrite history,’ saying the material contradicts her sex-trafficking conviction.
- Giuffre’s relatives also condemned Maxwell’s transfer from a Florida facility to a minimum-security Texas camp following the interview, calling the move a troubling signal.
