Overview
- Transcripts and audio from two July interviews of Ghislaine Maxwell by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were published Friday after she spoke under limited immunity.
- Maxwell said she never saw President Trump behave inappropriately, rejected the idea of an Epstein "client list," and disputed claims involving Prince Andrew, calling a well-known photo "a fake photo."
- She said she does not believe Epstein died by suicide but called outside-murder theories "ludicrous," pointing instead to failures within the jail system.
- The Justice Department has begun transferring Epstein case materials to the House Oversight Committee, which says it plans to release documents after removing victims’ identifying information.
- Maxwell was moved shortly after the interviews to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas, is pursuing a Supreme Court appeal, and is reported to welcome executive clemency as political reactions to her statements intensify.
