Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Never Saw Trump ‘in Any Inappropriate Setting’

Convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell told Justice Department officials that she and Jeffrey Epstein had a social relationship with Donald Trump years ago, but she never saw the president behave inappropriately.

The interview with Maxwell released Friday is a boon to Trump as his administration has been under pressure to release files from federal prosecutors’ investigation into sex-trafficking allegations against Epstein. Trump has acknowledged a friendship with Epstein, but says it ended years before the disgraced financier’s death.
