The associate of Jeffrey Epstein also said she never saw an alleged "client list" belonging to billionaire financier and child sex offender.Jeffrey Epstein's longtime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell said she never witnessed US President Donald Trump behave inappropriately, according to interviews released by the US Department of Justice on Friday. "I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting," said Maxwell, who is currently imprisoned for sex trafficking and other crimes. "I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects." Maxwell, a British former socialite, also said she was not aware of any "client list" belonging to Epstein. The Epstein case has long captured public attention due to both the nature of the crimes as well as his connection to long list of public figures including Prince Andrew, former US President Bill Clinton, and Trump, who said his friendship ended with Epstein years before any scandal. The New York financier died by apparent suicide in 2019 while in prison awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking teenage girls. DoJ releases interview transcripts The interviews with Maxwell were conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Justice Department's second-in-command, and were released on Friday. The release of the interviews comes as the Trump administration scrambles to present itself as transparent regarding the Epstein case. "Except for the names of victims, every word is included. Nothing removed. Nothing hidden," said Blanche. According to the transcripts, the interviews were conducted on July 24. In the days that followed, Maxwell was moved from her low-security federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison in Texas. Neither her lawyers not prison officials explained the reason for the move. Edited by: Karl Sexton
