Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly informed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that President Donald Trump never acted inappropriately towards her. During a nine-hour-long interview, Maxwell stated Trump’s actions were never concerning, as per sources familiar with the discussions.

 

The Trump administration is contemplating making these interview transcripts public. Multiple insiders informed us that the decision could be made this week. The interview took place over two days, and there is an audio recording of the sessions, though it remains uncertain if the transcriptions will also be released.

 

Maxwell, a key associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted on charges related to sex trafficking and received a 20-year sentence in 2022. She recently moved to a less restrictive federal prison in Texas and is appealing her conviction at the U.S. Supreme Court. Sources suggest that Maxwell initiated the interview with the DOJ.

 

Reports indicate that she is also pursuing a pardon from Trump. David Markus, Maxwell's lawyer, publicly stated that she "would welcome any relief" and did not withhold any information when questioned about her connections.

 

Responding to queries, Trump stated that he was not aware of Maxwell's prison transfer until he read about it. He assured that the conversations between Blanche and Maxwell were "completely ethical" and upheld transparency. Trump’s comments about potentially releasing the transcripts suggest he desires openness, although he expressed concerns regarding possible unintended harm, as reported by ABC News.

 

Blanche tweeted after meeting Maxwell, stating that the DOJ would provide further insights “at the appropriate time.” CNN originally reported the possible release of these discussions.

 

Maxwell's interactions with the DOJ, along with her appeal process, keep her in the public eye. While Trump has not ruled out the possibility of pardoning Maxwell, details of the interview are still kept confidential for now. While decisions about public disclosure remain pending, the situation continues to unfold.
