maxwell Denies ‘Client List’ Exists, Offers Account of Epstein’s Connections to Trump and Prince Andrew
Table of Contents
Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has asserted to US officials that the widely speculated “client list” of high-profile individuals connected to Epstein does not exist. The revelations come from a recently released transcript of an interview conducted in July, as the Trump administration continues to navigate pressure for greater transparency surrounding the Epstein case and its own connections to the disgraced financier.
The interview, conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche – a former attorney for Donald Trump – provides a rare glimpse into Maxwell’s perspective on the complex web of relationships surrounding Epstein. She maintains she witnessed no inappropriate conduct by either Trump or former President Bill Clinton. Maxwell also dismissed allegations concerning Prince Andrew’s involvement in sexual misconduct as “mind-blowingly not conceivable.”
Currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking crimes, Maxwell has petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction and is reportedly seeking a pardon from Trump. Her legal team has indicated thay would “welcome” such a gesture. Shortly after the July interview,Maxwell was transferred from a Florida prison to a low-security facility in Texas,a move officials have not publicly explained. The White House insists “no leniency is being given or discussed” in her case.
Maxwell characterized the relation
“There is no list,” maxwell reiterated.
Prince Andrew and Allegations of Misconduct
Maxwell addressed her relationship wiht Prince Andrew and the accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him. She vehemently denied introducing the Duke of York to Epstein, stating it was a “flat untruth.” She suggested that Sarah, Duchess of York, was responsible for the introduction. Representatives for the Duchess of York declined to comment when approached by the BBC regarding Maxwell’s claim.
Maxwell also dismissed allegations concerning Prince Andrew’s alleged relationship with a redacted individual as “mind-blowingly not conceivable,” citing the size of her home as a factor. She further claimed a widely circulated photograph depicting Prince Andrew with the unnamed woman and herself in the background was “fake.”
prince Andrew previously settled a lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse when she was 17, in 2022. The settlement contained no admission of liability or apology.Giuffre tragically died earlier this year, and her family has condemned the Justice Department’s decision to interview Maxwell, labeling her a “monster” whose testimony is untrustworthy.
Maxwell’s Relationship with Epstein and His Death
Maxwell detailed her relationship with Epstein, which began in 1991 and evolved into a sexual relationship. Even after the romantic aspect ended,she continued to receive financial support from Epstein – up to $250,000 annually by 2009 – and described herself as remaining “friends with benefits.” She claimed their connection was “almost non-existent” between 2010 and Epstein’s death.
Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell expressed skepticism about the official cause of death. “I do not believe he died by suicide, no,” she said, although she admitted she had “no reason” to believe he was murdered. “Its ludicrous,” she added, dismissing theories of foul play, suggesting authorities had ample opportunity to harm him if they desired.
Trump’s Shifting Stance on the Epstein case
Earlier this year,reports indicated that Trump was informed by then-Attorney General Pam Bondi that his name appeared in official files related to the Epstein examination. While Trump has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with the case, he initially vowed to publicize more details during his campaign. He later reversed course, declaring the case closed and criticizing those who continued to seek transparency.
The 300-page transcript,heavily redacted in parts,offers a complex and often contradictory account of events. It underscores the enduring questions surrounding Epstein’s network and the extent to which powerful figures were connected to his crimes. .
