Ghislaine Maxwell has denied that the disgraced financier and sexual predator engaged in blackmail
Jeffrey Epstein’s confidante Ghislaine Maxwell has denied that the late financier and convicted sex offender blackmailed his powerful associates.
On Friday, the US Department of Justice released audio and a transcript of Maxwell’s interview last month with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking women, including a child, to Epstein, was questioned amid renewed speculation that he kept a “client list” of individuals he trafficked young women to.
Asked whether Epstein maintained “a black book or a client list,” Maxwell replied: “There is no list that I am aware of.”
According to her, the claims originated in 2009 from Brad Edwards, a lawyer representing several of Epstein’s victims.
“I’m not aware of any blackmail. I never heard that. I never saw it and I never imagined it,” Maxwell said.
She also denied that President Donald Trump engaged in any improper conduct during his friendship with Epstein. “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way,” she said.
Trump has maintained that he cut ties with Epstein long before his 2008 conviction and was previously unaware of the allegations against him.
