Ghislaine Maxwell, the right-hand woman of the late billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is disputing the claim that Epstein died by suicide.
According to newly released interview transcripts, Maxwell was adamant that Epstein didn't kill himself, echoing a sentiment that has reigned supreme ever since Epstein's suspicious death in a prison cell that was labeled a suicide.
The hundreds of pages of redacted transcripts and handful of audio clips released on Friday come after months of demands from both conservative and liberal voters who want transparency on Epstein's death.
Epstein was too powerful and too well-connected, and it was expected that his testimony in his sex trafficking trial would likely implicate many extremely powerful individuals in his horrific crimes.
When Epstein died of "suicide" in a prison cell, while the prison's camera system was conveniently down for maintenance, it created a wave of outrage. Now the Trump administration is doing its best to be transparent, and Maxwell's interview transcripts are a big step in accomplishing that goal.
Maxwell is the key to uncovering the truth about Epstein's sex trafficking network that reportedly serviced the rich and powerful for decades.
While Maxwell herself is no doubt a monster who is complicit in Epstein's crimes, her testimony and statements are invaluable for uncovering the truth and even exposing some of Epstein's affluent and powerful clients.
Epstein was connected to every high-profile figure, from Donald Trump, who was New York's biggest real estate tycoon, to former President Bill Clinton, who spent a significant amount of time on Epstein's private jets and island resorts.
Many leftists claim that Trump was likely involved in Epstein's criminal enterprises, but Maxwell refuted those claims, and this is supported by Trump's public falling out with Epstein over twenty years ago.
Furthermore, there was no chance that there was dirt on Trump related to Epstein that the previous administration wouldn't have used. If there was evidence that Trump was a participant in Epstein's crimes, it would have been rolled out by Biden's presidential campaign.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking a minor to Epstein and other sex crimes, which likely constitute a fraction of her crimes. However, if the Trump administration can continue to get her to talk, it's likely that more significant information will come out.
There are rumors that Maxwell could be angling for a pardon from Trump, but it's likely that Maxwell would have to trade truly monumental information in order to land a pardon, considering her extensive crimes against children.
Maxwell's attorney suggested that she would be willing to testify in front of Congress if Trump agreed to give her clemency. Whether Trump would be willing to grant that privilege depends on how many names Maxwell can give up.
This situation is an ongoing story to keep a close eye on. For the first time in years, there is a real chance that Americans will get justice, and the rich and powerful might actually face consequences after decades of immunity.
