Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, told U.S. officials that the rumored “client list” does not exist. In a recently released 300-page transcript of her July interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell denied any knowledge of blackmail, wrongdoing by Donald Trump or Bill Clinton, or the existence of a list implicating high-profile individuals.
During the interview, Maxwell dismissed many of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Epstein case, including allegations that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual activity with an underage girl at her London home. She labeled the claim “mind-blowingly not conceivable” and insisted she did not introduce the Duke of York to Epstein. She also disputed the authenticity of the widely circulated photo showing Prince Andrew with accuser Virginia Giuffre, calling it fake.
The transcript reveals Maxwell asserting that Trump was never inappropriate with anyone in her presence and was always “a gentleman.” She stated that while Trump and Epstein were friendly socially, they were not close. She denied recollection of Trump sending Epstein a birthday note in 2003—recently brought to public attention.
Maxwell claimed she never saw Epstein operate a blackmail scheme and said she doesn’t believe he died by suicide in 2019, though she admitted having no evidence of foul play. She described theories of his murder as “ludicrous,” arguing that anyone seeking to silence him had opportunities long before his incarceration.
Throughout the interview, Maxwell was questioned about several public figures—Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, and others—many of whom conspiracy theorists claim were linked to Epstein. She denied any secret “list” existed, despite repeated public speculation.
Maxwell’s legal team is appealing her conviction and has suggested they would welcome a pardon from Trump. Meanwhile, Trump faces pressure from his own party and the public to release more information about the Epstein case. The House Oversight Committee has begun reviewing subpoenaed DOJ files and plans to release them after ensuring victim anonymity.
The family of Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, condemned the decision to interview Maxwell, calling her untrustworthy and accusing her of continuing to retraumatize victims.
