In an interview with top U.S. Justice Department officials, Maxwell stated that she had not seen any abuse by Jeffrey Epstein toward underage girls, asserting that she was not defending him, but had not been involved in any such activity. She also expressed concern about speaking out about Epstein’s actions, given current knowledge about the situation.
Maxwell said she had different views on Epstein’s suicide, as she did not believe he had committed suicide, and may have been attacked unrelated to his blackmailing. Speaking of prison conditions, she stated that murder might be available for some money.
Maxwell praised former President Donald Trump during the interview, noting that she admired his achievements, explaining that she had known him since the 1990s through her father, and that she had been in contact with him for a decade. She also said Epstein had more contact with Trump than her.
In addition, Maxwell explained that she had only visited Mar-a-Lago once or twice, and did not enjoy a direct friendship with Trump or Epstein, stressing that she had not seen any close relationship between them.
