The late financier’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has told US investigators that she doesn’t believe in the official version of his death
Jeffrey Epstein’s confidante and partner Ghislaine Maxwell has said she does not believe the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender committed suicide behind bars.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking women including one child to the sexual predator Epstein, was interviewed by the Department of Justice last month due to renewed interest in the case.
According to a transcript released Friday, Maxwell told investigators, “I do not believe he died by suicide, no.” She dismissed the idea that an outside party could have ordered a “hit” on Epstein, adding, “If it is indeed murder, I believe it was an internal situation.”
When asked if Epstein could have been targeted because he possessed damaging information on powerful figures, Maxwell said, “I do not have any reason to believe that. And I also think it’s ludicrous.” She added, “If that is what they wanted, they would’ve had plenty of opportunity when he wasn’t in jail.”
Maxwell also denied that Epstein engaged in blackmail or kept a “client list” linked to sex trafficking.
Epstein was found dead in 2019 in his cell at a Manhattan correctional facility while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Democrats, along with some conservative figures, have accused President Donald Trump of a coverup after FBI and DOJ reviews denied the existence of an “Epstein list.”
Trump, who has said he ended his friendship with Epstein long before his 2008 conviction, described the accusations as part of a Democrat-led discreditation campaign.
