Overview

  • Transcripts and audio from Ghislaine Maxwell’s July interviews show her saying she never witnessed President Donald Trump in any inappropriate context and denying any Epstein client list or blackmail scheme.
  • Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted the two‑day interviews and said the public files include every word except victim names, with Maxwell granted limited immunity to discuss her case.
  • The Justice Department delivered thousands of Epstein‑related records to the House Oversight Committee, with chair James Comer saying members aim to share material after redactions of victim identities.
  • Some Epstein materials remain withheld under court orders and privacy rules, including restrictions on grand jury records that judges recently kept sealed.
  • Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence, was moved to a lower‑security federal facility in Texas after the interviews, a sequence that has prompted questions about her incentives from outside commentators.
