Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly told the Department of Justice during a recent meeting that she never observed President Donald Trump engage in any concerning behavior while in her presence, according to sources who spoke to ABC News.

As The New York Post reported, Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, participated in a lengthy interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who previously served as Trump’s criminal defense attorney.

According to sources familiar with the interview, Maxwell did not provide any information that could implicate President Trump or damage his reputation.

Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, confirmed that she answered questions regarding "about 100 different people" during the session, which was described as part of her broader attempt to negotiate with federal authorities.

“The deputy attorney general is seeking the truth,” Markus said following the meeting. “He asked every possible question, and he was doing an amazing job.”

Markus also addressed speculation about a potential pardon for Maxwell from President Trump. While he said no favors were requested during the meeting, he acknowledged the president’s authority to issue a pardon.

“Listen, the president this morning said he had the power to do so. We hope he exercises that power in the right and just way,” Markus said.

President Trump has consistently denied having knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities. He has previously stated that he severed ties with Epstein after becoming aware of his behavior.

Shortly after her DOJ interview, Maxwell was moved to a low-security federal facility in Texas, a location often described as a “Club Fed” due to its more lenient conditions compared to other federal prisons.

The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly provided a reason for the transfer, which drew attention given the length of Maxwell’s sentence and the typical inmate profile at the facility.

Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on multiple charges related to sex trafficking and the abuse of minors as part of Epstein’s network. She was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in June 2022.

The DOJ has not confirmed whether further interviews or cooperation discussions with Maxwell are scheduled. No details have emerged regarding potential agreements for reduced sentencing or additional testimony.
