Read Ghislaine Maxwell’s DOJ interview transcript: Full text

Here’s the full transcript of the Justice Department’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, who’d been convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell, who’s serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking charges, over a two day period last month.

The unusual interview came after the DOJ and FBI came under fire from President Donald Trump’s supporters for saying in a memo that they had reviewed the Epstein files and no other people were expected to be charged and no further information would be released.

Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide, but that ruling sparked numerous conspiracy theories, some of which were fueled by Trump and his allies. The DOJ-FBI memo agreed his death was a suicide, while also rejecting conspiracies that he’d had an incriminating “client list” and had blackmailed prominent individuals.
