Ghislaine Maxwell denied President Donald Trump did anything ‘inappropriate’ in newly released Jeffrey Epstein files.
The Justice Department on Friday released a transcript of Maxwell’s full interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that happened over two days last month.
Maxwell told Blanche that she ‘never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way’, the transcript states.
She said that Trump and the late disgraced financier were ‘friendly like people are in social settings’.
Maxwell also absolved other powerful men of wrongdoing.
‘Never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age ,’ she said.
Maxwell said she does not think former President Bill Clinton got a massage from any of the young women that were sex trafficked by Epstein.
The Justice Department on Friday also delivered the first batch of documents on Epstein to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, following the panel’s subpoena for all of the files.
‘The House Oversight Committee has received the Department of Justice’s first production of Epstein records pursuant to Chairman James Comer’s subpoena,’ stated a spokesperson for the committee.
‘The production contains thousands of pages of documents.’
Trump said he supported the move, but raised a bit of a caveat.
‘Innocent people shouldn’t be hurt. But I’m in support of keeping it totally open, said Trump.
‘I couldn’t care less. You got a lot of people that it could be mentioned in those files that don’t deserve to be. Because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. I don’t know anything about that.’
