Ghislaine Maxwell told DOJ Trump never did anything concerning around her: Sources
Source: ABC News
August 5, 2025, 5:44 PM
During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said.
The Trump administration, meanwhile, is considering publicly releasing the transcripts from the interview, multiple sources familiar with the internal discussions told ABC News. Maxwell's meetings with Blanche took place for nine hours over two days.
There is also an audio recording of the interview, the sources said, but it's not clear whether the administration plans to release the audio to accompany any public release of the transcript.
The public release of the transcripts could come as soon as this week, the sources said.

As if a convicted groomer/predator/pedophile would be a good arbiter of "concern"... and of course she saw nothing "in her presence".

(31,270 posts)what about "that was told to me" or "I witnessed on video tape or film"
and the phrase "anything concerning"... might not have concerned her to witness him f'ing one the 16 year olds. "She knew what she was doing with Trump so it didn't concern ME"

It's also a coincidence that the first leak from the Blanche meeting is the statement above.

(29,768 posts)He didn't go to the victims to verify what Maxwell said. Why the Fuck not?
He didn't go to the actual prosecutors who prosecuted Maxwell to verify her story, Trump fired her, but there are more prosecutors.
In other words Blanche blindly accepted the statements from a proven liar at face value so long as it exonerated Dear Leader. Who leaked the report? Probably Trump.
Looks like Epstein Gate will soon be over, nothing more to see. The 2 little girls who accused Trump of assaulting them at Epstein's mansion must have been lying?
This investigation is over, time to move on to investigating the people who investigated the Russia involvement in the 2016 election.
Project 2025 moves forward.

Regardless, if Trump wasnt concerned, they never wouldve interviewed Maxwell and offered her a deal, which they did.

(29,768 posts)3 parties involved. Maxwell and Maxwell's lawyer and Blanche who are friends.
IMO Blanche and Maxwell drew up a report and let Maxwell agree to it.
The Republican party, the party that protects sex traffickers of little girls. Hope we have another fair election where that can be a campaign slogan for Democrats.

He could very well deny a pardon now that she has claimed his innocence, just to placate the phony religious nuts who would scream bloody murder if she was released. And anything she said after that he would label as lies and flip flip, the words of a nasty lying woman. Thats how his brain works.

Define "in her presence" and "Caused concern".
Virginia Giuffre's Deposition
Virginia states it was Maxwell who recruited her from Mar-a-largo in 2000 (possibly 1999). It was Maxwell who trained her. Virginia thought Maxwell was the leader. She states Epstein and Maxwell were glued at the hips, abused girls together, and Maxwell abused girls on a daily basis. She also states the plane logs are incomplete as the only cover one plane (Epstein I believe had three). Ghislaine had a helicopter given to her by Epstein that she used to fly people to the island.

And I get that MAGA-world can't admit their Moloch is fallible, but how can they ignore the kid-glove treatment this evil predator is getting from him--including wishing her well? Who wishes an evil sexual predator well and doesn't protest when their own DOJ moves them to a cushy Club Fed close to their family? I thought the real criminals were being sent to El Salvador....

FakeNoose
(38,627 posts)He has already explained why he was on Epstein's plane, and I believe him.
Keep in mind that this was after Monica Lewinsky, so Bill was keeping squeaky clean. He occasionally gave humanitary fund-raising speeches in other parts of the world, and Jeffrey Epstein offered him plane rides if he happened to be going to the same area. Sometimes Hillary accompanied Bill, but ALWAYS there were secret service guys with him.
Nothing skeevy ever happened on any of those trips. I believe him.

(12,935 posts)In her mind, grooming and sexually abusing minors is perfectly fine and, therefore, not at all concerning.

(38,627 posts)Maxwell wasn't around a lot of the time, especially when they were acting up with young girls. What Maxwell says she saw or didn't see is totally irrelevant. It's all in the videos and photos that were taken out of Epstein's mansions by federal investigators.
Ghislaine Maxwell is trying to get out of prison by clemency or a full pardon. Either way she has to rely on the "good graces" of Chump. So of course she's going to be talking like this.

(11,288 posts)Kahn covered them in 1952 and 53 for the New York Herald Tribune. By the time he covered the Dodgers Jackie Robinson, and other African Americans, were established stars. That did not mean that prejudice had ended.
St. Louis was the most western, and most southern city in MLB. Robinson complained that the Cardinals were shouting racial epithets at him. Eddie Stanky, a native of Mississippi, former Dodger and teammate of Robinson, was the Cardinal manager.
Young reporter Kahn went to Stanky to ask him if it happened. Stanky denied it, and Kahn wrote his story around that denial. The next morning Robinson was disgusted by the story,, and let Kahn know it. Embarrassed, Kahn did some checking and found Robinson was right. He confronted Stanky, demanding to know why he had misled him.
Stanky denied doing so, saying that he had told Kahn he didnt hear anything out of line. He said [parapharsing], I heard n
.r, I heard shine, I heard snowball, I heard coon. I dont think any of those out of line.
Maxwell says Trump never did anything that would cause concern. She was a groomer, and apparently a child molester herself. What she thinks would cause concern is probably different from what most people would think, in addition to being a known liar.

otchmoson
(217 posts)The two lawyers (Marcus and Blanche) carefully crafted Maxwells statement: Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern.
Two questions:
What would have caused her concern? Beheading? Disemboweling? Strangulation? Beating? In other wordshow low is her bar for concern? It is my understanding that if she is a psychopath, there is no behavior that would arouse concern.
What does in her presence actually mean. If Trumps behavior was actually captured on videos, which Ive heard were used lavishly by Epstein, it could have been viewed while not occurring in her presence. At the most, I suggest this would merely implies that she did not actively hold the victim(s) down while Trump did whatever he wanted.
