Overview

• The Justice Department posted the full transcript and audio of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s two-day July interview with Ghislaine Maxwell.
• In the interview, Maxwell denied the existence of a “client list,” said she never saw President Donald Trump act inappropriately, and questioned the finding that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.
• A House Oversight Committee spokesperson said the DOJ’s first production under subpoena contains thousands of pages, with materials to be reviewed before any public release.
• Federal judges in Manhattan, including Richard Berman, rejected DOJ petitions to unseal limited grand-jury records, calling the requests a diversion from the broader trove the government controls.
• Maxwell remains imprisoned on a 20-year sentence, spoke under limited-immunity terms, and was questioned by Blanche, who previously represented Trump.
