Overview

• Justice Department transcripts from July 24–25, now provided to Congress and published, show Ghislaine Maxwell denying the existence of any Epstein “client list.”
• Maxwell told investigators she never saw President Donald Trump behave inappropriately and described him as a gentleman, while also expressing admiration for his rise to the presidency.
• She said she does not believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and floated the possibility of a prison-related killing rather than an outside plot.
• Maxwell asserted that Bill Clinton was her friend, denied he visited Epstein’s island, and said he never received a massage in her presence.
• Critics note the sessions were conducted by Blanche, formerly Trump’s personal lawyer, under limited immunity and without FBI agents present, and reporting says Maxwell was moved to a minimum‑security facility soon after.
