Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, said during a taped interview
0:04
last month with the Department of Justice that she never saw President Trump do anything wrong
0:09
or concerning, according to ABC News, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter
0:15
Maxwell sat down with senior Justice Department official Todd Blanche for nearly nine hours
0:19
over two days in July. Maxwell made no accusations or statements that could negatively affect Trump
0:28
unnamed sources tell ABC News. Officials with the Trump administration might release the full
0:33
transcripts of what Maxwell said during her interview. And sources also tell ABC News
0:38
there's an audio recording of the interview as well. However, it's unclear if it will be released
0:43
along with the transcript. Days after meeting with Blanche, Maxwell was quietly moved from a
0:48
federal correctional facility in Florida to a lower security prison in Texas. Meanwhile
0:53
the president has not ruled out granting Maxwell a pardon. He was asked if he would ever consider
0:58
giving Maxwell a pardon while taking questions from reporters in Scotland days after Maxwell met
1:03
with Blanche. Well, I'm allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody's approached me with it. Nobody's
1:09
asked me about it. It's in the news about that, that aspect of it. But
1:17
right now it would be inappropriate to talk about it. Maxwell and Trump moved in similar
1:24
social circles in the 1990s and early 2000s, often attending the same parties and events in
1:30
New York and Palm Beach. Photos exist showing Trump with Maxwell and Epstein at various events
1:35
which have been widely circulated in the media. President Trump has not been implicated in Ghislaine
1:40
Maxwell's criminal case. In May, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed him that his name appears in
1:46
the Epstein files. However, this doesn't imply that he did anything wrong. For Straight Arrow
