Ghislaine Maxwell denies Epstein client list in DOJ interview release

Hold onto your hats, folks—Ghislaine Maxwell, the lone figure convicted in the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga, just dropped a bombshell in newly released Justice Department interviews.

The DOJ unveiled hours of conversations between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Maxwell, conducted in a federal prison in Tallahassee, alongside hundreds of pages of transcripts and audio recordings now public on their website.

Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence since her 2021 conviction for aiding Epstein in trafficking teen girls, met him in the early 1990s, worked for him, and saw their intimate relationship fizzle out by 1999.

Tracing the Epstein-Maxwell Connection

By the mid-to-late 1990s, Epstein was increasingly traveling with so-called "masseuses," a term accusers say masked illicit activities, while Maxwell noted his testosterone use around that time changed his demeanor.

She told Blanche, "He started doing testosterone, and that altered his character." Well, if hormones can turn a man into a monster, perhaps we should rethink what’s in the water these days.

Fast forward to 2009, after Epstein served a controversially light sentence for child sex trafficking, Maxwell claims civil suits piled up, some pushed by the law firm Rothstein Adler, which later faced FBI raids and prosecutions for fraud and money laundering.

Debunking the Infamous Client List

Maxwell flat-out denied the existence of a fabled "client list" or blackmail stash tied to Epstein’s high-profile associates, calling it a fabrication possibly tied to a sting operation involving his former butler’s notes.

She also scoffed at a lawyer’s claim of possessing a damning "piece of evidence," suggesting it was more smoke than fire. If there’s no list, perhaps the conspiracy theorists need a new hobby—maybe knitting?

Addressing prominent names, Maxwell denied seeing former President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s U.S. Virgin Islands estate, insisting the Clintons were her pals, not his, while also clearing President Donald Trump of any inappropriate behavior in her presence.

Prince Andrew and the Photo Controversy

On the topic of the U.K.’s Prince Andrew, Maxwell maintained she never witnessed misconduct and dismissed a widely circulated photo with accuser Virginia Giuffre as "literally a fake."

Giuffre, who tragically took her own life earlier this year after accusing Prince Andrew of assault in Maxwell’s London home, received an undisclosed settlement from him in 2022, though he’s consistently denied wrongdoing. It’s a sad chapter, but settlements aren’t admissions—sometimes they’re just the cost of peace.

Maxwell also clarified she didn’t introduce Epstein to Prince Andrew, pointing to a casual meeting at a dinner party in Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket around the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Maxwell’s Defense and Epstein’s Demise

Throughout the interviews, Maxwell denied trafficking anyone or observing nonconsensual acts or minors involved in Epstein’s circle, while admitting under limited immunity that lying could reopen prosecution risks.

She didn’t shy away from criticizing Epstein, saying, "He's a disgusting guy who did terrible things to young kids," yet refused to defend him, leaving no room for progressive narratives to paint her as complicit without evidence. Her words cut sharply—sometimes the truth doesn’t need sugarcoating, even if the left prefers a sweeter story.

Finally, Maxwell reiterated her disbelief in Epstein’s 2019 jail cell death being suicide—a view shared by his brother—while revealing he confided in her about a heart condition limiting normal intimacy, and she’s ready for more talks with prosecutors or Congress as her appeal continues. If nothing else, this saga proves one thing: the past always haunts, and in D.C., the truth is often the last guest to arrive.
