The Justice Department has released transcripts of interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of convicted pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“The House Oversight Committee has received the Department of Justice’s first production of Epstein records pursuant to Chairman James Comer’s subpoena. The production contains thousands of pages of documents,” a House GOP Oversight Committee spokesperson confirmed.
In the interviews, Maxwell recalled knowing about Donald Trump and possibly meeting him in 1990, when her father, newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, owned the New York Daily News.
“I may have met Donald Trump at that time, because my father was friendly with him and liked him very much,” Maxwell said, according to the transcript.
Maxwell also stated that President Trump was “never inappropriate with anybody” during the time Epstein and Trump were friends. She further told investigators that “there is no Epstein list” and insisted that Epstein did not take his own life.
She added that her father was fond of Trump’s then-wife, Ivana, “because she was also from Czechoslovakia, where my dad was from.”
“I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting,” Maxwell said. “I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”
Maxwell, a former socialite convicted in 2021 of helping lure teenage girls for Epstein’s abuse, was interviewed over two days last month by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche at a Florida courthouse.
