“Apart from the names of the victims, every word is contained,” said Deputy Minister of Justice Todd Blanche, who had carried out Maxwell’s survey, with regard to the release on Friday in the online service X. “Nothing was hidden,” he said. This is done “in the interest of transparency”. Blanche used to be a personal lawyer from Trump.
When asked by Blanche, whether she had ever heard of Epstein or someone else that Trump had behaved inappropriately towards people in his environment, Maxwell replied: “absolutely never, in no context.”
According to the records, Maxwell also emphasized that she did not believe that Epstein committed suicide. However, she also did not provide any information about who could have been responsible for the death of her former partner.
The convicted sex offender Epstein was found in his prison cell in New York in 2019. He was accused of misused numerous girls and young women. Trump, who is said to have reported in the past, had come under pressure in his own camp because his government did not bring light into the scandal as promised.
In order to calm the turmoil of his supporters in the case, Trump had given the prospect of disclosing legal documents. Maxwell’s survey was another step in the effort of the Trump government to appease the angry trailers.
Maxwell was convicted of Epstein as a member of a sex trade ring at the end of 2021 and is currently serving a 20-year sentence. After the Blanche surveys, the 63-year-old had been moved to a prison with more pleasant conditions.
Maxwell denied claims in the survey that Epstein is said to have conducted a “customer list”. Trump’s Minister of Justice Pam Bondi initially spoke of a list of prominent “customers” of Epstein, but then contested their existence in early July.
Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus had said after the survey of Maxwell in the past month that she was asked about “everything” “what you can only imagine”. Maxwell “answered every single question,” said Markus in front of journalists without responding to the content. In return, Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, was not offered a mitigation for her statements, the lawyer said.
