Ghislaine Maxwell provided a heretofore unknown detail about former President Bill Clinton regarding his relationship with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year.
Maxwell told U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that she does not believe former Clinton ever received a massage aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane, according to transcripts of her testimony released by the Justice Department.
The DOJ on Friday released the transcript of Maxwell’s interview with Blanche, in which she discussed her ties to Epstein during a two-day session. At one point, Blanche asked whether Clinton had ever been given a massage, The Daily Caller reported.
“I don’t believe he did,” Maxwell replied. Asked what made her doubt it, she said: “Well, because I don’t—so that’s a good question. The time that Epstein and President Clinton spent together, the only times I believe—well, obviously they traveled. There was that, you know, the plane, they went on the plane 26 times or whatever … So they spent time on the plane together, and I don’t believe there was ever a massage on the plane. So that would’ve been the only time that I think that President Clinton could have even received a massage. And he didn’t, because I was there.”
Photographs from September 2002 appear to show Clinton receiving a massage from Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies during a humanitarian trip to Africa aboard Epstein’s plane. Another Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre, told an attorney that Clinton had visited Epstein’s private island, though she did not accuse him of committing any crimes.
Clinton has denied having knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. In July 2019, a spokesperson said Clinton knew “nothing about the terrible crimes” attributed to Epstein and denied that the former president ever visited Epstein’s island.
Maxwell also described her involvement with Clinton Global Initiative.
Blanche asked Maxwell whether she was part of the launch of the Clinton Global Initiative, which its website describes as hosting annual gatherings of “leaders of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations; prominent voices in business, labor, and finance; youth leaders and grassroots activists; heads of state and prominent government officials; global citizens; and more,” Fox News reported.
“I was,” Maxwell said. “I would say very central to that, yes.” She added that Epstein was “very enthusiastic” about her work with the initiative.
“[Epstein] supported me to help them, but then I think he may have tried to use that to insert himself in some way, that would not have surprised me at all,” she said. “And I know that he was annoying, in terms that I could catch him on the phone and he wouldn’t always agree with what I wanted to do. And I was like, it’s not your idea. I don’t really care what you think, but that didn’t go over so well.”
Maxwell said she went to Davos with Clinton at least once, insisting he never visited Epstein’s private island. She said she first met Clinton at a White House event and later became friendly with him through former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine.
“Once for sure. And I think maybe twice, but I don’t remember,” she said of her trips to Davos with Clinton. Maxwell also emphasized that Clinton was her friend, “not Epstein’s friend.”
She recalled meeting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once on a flight, possibly from Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard back to New York, though she was not certain. Maxwell also said she attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding with a former boyfriend, adding that Epstein was not present.
In a statement, Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus defended her cooperation and credibility.
“Ghislaine Maxwell is innocent and never should have been tried, much less convicted, in this case,” Markus said. “The materials newly released by the Department of Justice make this clear. Ms. Maxwell answered every question. She did not refuse to respond and did not dodge any question.”
