The Justice Department has issued transcripts of conversations with Jeffey Epstein’s imprisoned ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, a move aimed at addressing backlash over withheld records. This action follows mounting criticism directed at the Trump administration for its initial reluctance to disclose key documents from the larger sex-trafficking case.

In an effort to demonstrate openness, the Justice Department released transcripts of its No. 2 official’s interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend. This move follows fierce criticism of the Trump administration over an earlier refusal to release more records in the high-profile sex-trafficking case.

In newly released transcripts, Ghislaine Maxwell offers insight into her dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, praises former President Donald Trump, and denies witnessing any sexual misconduct. She also addresses persistent rumors around a so-called “black book,” expresses doubt about Epstein’s death, and rejects allegations involving Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew.
