Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who is seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump, told top Justice Department officials during an interview last month that she never witnessed the president “in any inappropriate setting” with young girls introduced to him by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

On Prince Andrew, Maxwell called the allegations against him "mind-blowingly not conceivable", partly due to the size of her house where the events allegedly took place. The royal was accused by Virginia Giuffre, who is not named in the transcript, of sexually abusing her when she was 17. Giuffre took her own life earlier this year.

The Trump administrations released transcripts of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein's imprisoned former girlfriend, by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
