The release of a 465-page transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2016 deposition in a civil case yielded no new names linked to Jeffrey Epstein. It did, however, offer us a glimpse into her life as Epstein’s employee and sometime girlfriend.
The deposition was part of a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Maxwell of defamation for saying that she was lying about being sexually trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell while underage. It also plays a role in the criminal charges that got Maxwell arrested in July -- prosecutors allege she perjured herself when she gave the 2016 testimony.
