The US Department of Justice has released the transcript and audio recording of an interview conducted by deputy attorney general Todd Blanche with the convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
In a post on X, Blanche said the materials were being released “in the interest of transparency”, providing links to the transcript and to audio files.
The release includes documentation from a two-day interview conducted on 24 and 25 July. The materials comprise redacted transcripts for both days, along with multiple audio recordings – seven separate parts plus test recordings for day one, and four parts plus test recordings for day two.
Maxwell, 63, was Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime associate and was convicted on five counts including sex trafficking of minors and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.
Epstein died by suicide in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The Guardian is currently reviewing the newly released documents.
