Maxwell, who spoke with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about nine hours over two days, said she never observed Trump engaging in any improper behavior, including during questions about massages or any inappropriate settings. Maxwell also denied the existence of an Epstein &#8220;client list&#8221; or a blackmail network, dismissing such speculation as a &#8220;witch hunt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The justice Department released transcripts and audio of the interview to address rampant rumors and speculation about Trump&#8217;s relationship with Epstein following Epstein&#8217;s 2019 death in federal custody.Additionally, Maxwell commented on conspiracies regarding her family, suggesting her late father Robert Maxwell had intelligence connections. The transcripts provide one of the most comprehensive government records of Maxwell&#8217;s statements concerning Epstein and Trump, and will be reviewed alongside other evidence as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-american-arrested-for-alleged-conspiracy-to-send-u-s-tech-to-iranian-government\/\" title=\"Iranian-American Arrested For Alleged Conspiracy To Send U.S. Tech To Iranian Government\">justice department continues<\/a> to defend its handling of the Epstein case. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Ghislaine Maxwell said Trump was &lsquo;never inappropriate with anybody&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2210242\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Convicted sex trafficker&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ghislaine-maxwell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a>&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/justice-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice Department<\/a>&nbsp;officials last month that&nbsp;President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> &ldquo;was never inappropriate with anybody&rdquo; during the years he and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prince-andrew-is-deleted-ends-social-media-presence-over-links-to-jeffrey-epstein-sexual-abuse-allegations\/\" title=\"Prince Andrew Is Deleted: Ends Social Media ... over Links to ...
