Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for her role in deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July at a Florida courthouse. Sources close to the matter have revealed that during the course of the discussions, Maxwell informed Blanche that she had never witnessed President Donald J. Trump engage in any activities or behavior that would raise concern and that she was unaware of anything regarding Epstein that would be harmful to the America First leader. According to her attorney, David Oskar Markus, Maxwell answered questions about approximately 100 individuals and did not invoke privilege during the discussions.

The Trump administration has faced growing scrutiny over its handling of the alleged “Epstein Files.” To address transparency concerns, Attorney General Pam Bondi has requested the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to Maxwell and Epstein’s cases. However, Maxwell’s lawyers oppose the move, arguing that releasing the transcripts would cause reputational harm and potentially influence future legal proceedings as she appeals her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.

When asked about Maxwell’s recent transfer to a minimum-security prison in Texas, President Trump said he had no involvement, stating, “I didn’t know about it at all. I read about it just like you did.” Trump has also denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Their friendship reportedly ended in the mid-2000s.

Survivors of Epstein’s crimes, including Annie Farmer, have called for the release of the grand jury transcripts, with redactions to protect victims. Farmer’s attorneys emphasized the importance of understanding the full extent of Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes, stating, “Given the magnitude and abhorrence of Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes, unsealing the grand jury transcripts is not just appropriate, it is necessary.” The Justice Department (DOJ) has acknowledged that much of the information in the transcripts is already public, though certain identities remain protected.

The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam previously raised the possibility that Maxwell’s attorneys are actively working to foment controversy around Epstein, President Trump, and the alleged client list as a ploy to secure freedom for their client. “I predicted this weeks ago, and non-practitioner, hyper-online, nouveau-MAGA internet idiots claimed I was insane. Turns out I’m just always right,” Kassam wrote on X (formerly Twitter), responding to the revelation that Maxwell’s lawyers are pushing Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche for a presidential pardon.
