Ghislaine Maxwell Told Top Trump Official She Doesn’t Believe Epstein Killed Himself
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.
Trump came under intense scrutiny for his friendship with Epstein, as revealed in photos and a card Trump signed for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
Also in the transcripts, Maxwell lavished praise on Trump and denied he was involved in Epstein’s nefarious behavior. Shortly after her meeting with Blanche, Maxwell was moved from a tough Florida prison to a “club fed” prison in Texas to serve out her 20-year prison sentence for being Epstein’s accomplice.
