Epstein Associate Maxwell Says No List of Clients Exists

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has told US officials that a much-discussed “client list” does not exist.

The Trump administration has faced pressure to disclose information about Epstein, with whom Donald Trump was friendly before.

Maxwell was interviewed in July and, according to the released transcript, said she did not witness any inappropriate conduct by Trump or former President Bill Clinton.

She also called allegations of Prince Andrew having sexual relations with an underage girl in Maxwell’s home “mind-blowingly not conceivable”.

Maxwell is seeking a pardon from Trump and has been accused of lying to federal officials.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in a sex-trafficking scheme, and has petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. Her lawyer has said they would “welcome” a pardon from the president.

Shortly after the interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche – who previously worked as Trump’s personal attorney – Maxwell was moved from her Florida prison to another low-security prison in Texas. It is unclear why the move was made.

The White House has been adamant that “no leniency is being given or discussed” in Maxwell’s case.

Trump has maintained that he fell out with Epstein in 2004.

The president has accused his political opponents of using the case to distract from what he sees as his administration’s victories.

But he has also faced pressure from his own Republican Party for more transparency around investigations of Epstein.
