Ghislaine Maxwell Told Top Trump Official She Doesn't Believe Epstein Killed Himself

Aug 22nd, 2025, 3:50 pm

Disgraced socialite and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell told a top Trump official that she didn’t believe her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019. The revelation came to light after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche released the full transcript Friday that was recorded during his July meeting with Maxwell.

MSNBC’s Katy Tur read from part of the transcript, revealing that Blanche asked about the alleged client list kept by Epstein, the existence of which Maxwell denied. “She also says, though, and this is interesting, she does not believe that…Epstein died by suicide,” Tur said. “So, a little bit to quell the conspiracy, there’s no list, but then a little bit more to advance the conspiracy that she doesn’t believe that Epstein killed himself.”

Epstein was found unresponsive after hanging himself in his Manhattan jail cell while he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. He was declared dead due to cardiac arrest on arrival at the hospital. Right-wing conspiracy theorists claimed that Epstein was actually murdered so he couldn’t disclose the names of powerful people on the alleged client list.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised to release the full truth if he were reelected. Shortly after FBI Director Kash Patel was confirmed, he and his deputy, Dan Bongino, admitted that there was no evidence proving Epstein was murdered. The revelation angered Trump voters, who demanded the release of the complete files.

You cant see his room, or the stairs leading up to his room at all on the camera footage. He had multiple broken bones pointing to him being strangled in some way. He was totally murdered.

Just a bunch of video and other evidence that could be used to identify who the clients were. Here is a copy/paste of a comment I made in a previous thread:

Remember, the island (probably his other properties as well) had lots of hidden cameras. I don't know if he was actively black mailing people to get them to invest in his financial services company but, at the very least, he viewed those videos as insurance to push wealthy/powerful people to protect his interests.

The island was being run as a networking/recruiting tool for his financial services. Behind the scenes that business was the cover for him running the under age sex ring. As I see it, there were 4 categories of visitor there.

1. The legit finance customer who was looking into his financial services and enjoying a free junket to a tropical island resort in the process. Nothing illegal here.

2. Legit finance customer who gets caught doing something he doesn't want to be public. Think some high net worth guy like Bezos caught in a hot tub with someone other than his wife. She is of legal age and everything on the video is between consenting adults. Nothing illegal here either, just something Bezos wouldn't want to be public. He already went through one expensive divorce. Epstein has leverage here if he wants to use it.

3. This is where things take a dark turn. These people are using the financial services as cover too. They are there to prey on children. This is where the rumors swirling around Prince Andrew would place him. Epstein has a motive to protect them and they have a motive to protect him. Those tapes are Mutually Assured Destruction. Trump was likely in this group at the least. If Maxwell has video proving this, she has immense leverage over him

4. This is the worst of the lot. These people are recruiting/scouting new victims. Remember pedophiles have a victim profile. Once that minor is too old for them, they lose interest. Epstein needed a stream of new victims to replace the ones who outgrew his operation. Maxwell was certainly doing this for him, she probably wasn't the only one. Trump may have been as well. His association with beauty pageants, some of them for under 18s, would make him an ideal connection for Epstein.

Maxwell said she believed Epstein visited London to meet (Princess) Diana and attended a major event in the U.K. without her.

“I don’t know if he sat with Diana or he met with Diana and he’d already met her. I don’t know, but this, I believe was organized by Rosa [Monckton],” she said, referring to Diana’s best friend.

She added: “I don’t know if she was being set up as a date for him, maybe because she was... I don’t want to speak bad of Diana, but... I’m not going to do that.”

She guessed the event could've taken place in the early 2000s, though Diana died in 1997.

Said it’s impossible to hang yourself in those cells. He said ceiling is too low and there is no way to attach anything to ceiling.

Camera just happened to not work when guards just fell asleep or whatever in a high security prison - yea right. Plus - he got off before.

Prison had 30 minute checks by guards - but guards didn’t check them for 8 hrs ????????

Yrs ago, when I was between jobs, I worked in a juvenile girls prison for 4 months. I had to check girls every 30 minutes & I got a phone call from security every 30 minutes to see if I did it and all was ok. These were young girls with minor crimes - I can’t imagine a major top notch jail ignoring regulations.

AG Barr got his ass up to that prison very quickly to make SURE no evidence was left to indicate it was murder.

Only really naive people think he committed suicide.
