Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell told Justice Department officials last month that President Donald Trump “was never inappropriate with anybody” during the years he and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein were acquaintances, according to a transcript made public on Friday.

Maxwell sat for a roughly nine-hour, two-day interview in July with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in Tallahassee, Florida, where she was asked about her past interactions with Trump and Epstein. She told DOJ officials she “never saw President Trump do anything wrong or concerning” in her presence, according to transcripts.
