Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed that she never saw US President Trump in 'an inappropriate setting' with young girls as she seeks a pardon.

Disgraced socialite Maxwell, 63, flattered Trump, who has faced weeks of allegations of a cover up after promised Epstein files were not released, and said she never heard he acted inappropriately 'absolutely never, in any context'.

Her bombshell comments were revealed in audio tapes and a 380-page transcript, released last night, of a two-day interview convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell had with US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month.

It comes after Trump's base became increasingly angry after his administration said the expected Epstein files, rumoured to contain a client list, do not exist.

He previously promised Americans he would publish all files on the disgraced billionaire and accused Democrats of refusing to release information to protect their own.
