A top Department of Justice official questioned sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell about interactions with President Donald Trump — a former friend of Epstein — during a two-day interview in July, newly released transcripts revealed Friday.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche asked Maxwell, “Did you ever hear Mr. Epstein or anybody say that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses or with anybody in your world?” according to the transcripts.
“Absolutely never, in any context,” said Maxwell during the interview at the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.
“I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting,” Maxwell said after being asked about her and Epstein’s visits to the spa at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s resort and current residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
“I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody,” she told Blanche. “In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”
