(Washington) The American Department of Justice published the transcription on Friday and the audio band of a recent interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, when Donald Trump’s administration faces charges of lack of transparency in this case.
“With the exception of the names of the victims, each word is included. Nothing was removed. Nothing was hidden, “said Todd Blanche, the senior official of the justice department who conducted the interview at the end of July with Ghislaine Maxwell, owned today in a Texas prison.
James Comer, an elected republican influential in the congress, also announced at the same time that the Department of Justice had provided “thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein” to a commission of the House of Representatives who had required them.
The elected official did not, however, reveal the content of these documents.
Donald Trump multiplies initiatives to try to extinguish the controversy around the Epstein affair, which ignites the United States even in its electoral base. The government of the Republican is accused of lacking transparency in the file of this financier found dead hanged in prison in New York in 2019 before his trial for sexual crimes.
His death fueled countless conspiracy theories, according to which he was murdered to prevent embarrassing revelations on leading personalities.
After having promised his supporters for months of shattering revelations in this case, the American president underwent a return of flame since his government announced in early July that he had discovered any new element which would justify the publication of additional documents.
Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred in early August to a Texas prison to the less strict security regime, a week after being maintained with Todd Blanche, number two in the Department of Justice and former personal lawyer for Donald Trump.
According to the transcription of this interview, published on Friday, the former worldly said that Donald Trump had always been “very cordial and very kind” with her.
“And I just want to say that I admire his extraordinary feat of having become president now. And I like it, I always liked it, ”she said.
Asked last month about the possibility of granting a presidential pardon or a sentence switch to Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump had assured “not having thought of it” and that the moment had not come to talk about it.
Ghislaine Maxwell had been sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in prison for recruiting between 1994 and 2004 minor girls so that Jeffrey Epstein sexually exploited them.
