During the interview, Ghislaine Maxwell said she did not believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, and that it was possible he could could have been murdered in prison.

Epstein died in a New York prison cell in 2019 as he awaited his trial on
sex trafficking charges, following an earlier conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. His death was ruled a suicide.

"If it is indeed murder, I believe it was an internal situation," Maxwell said.

Maxwell said she did not think he was killed to cover up information
Epstein had.

"I also think it's ludicrous, because if that - I also happen to think if
that is what they wanted, they would've had plenty of opportunity when he wasn't in jail," Maxwell said.

"And if they were worried about blackmail or anything from him, he would've been a very easy target," she added.
Why Maxwell interview may not silence Trump's critics over Epsteinpublished

The decision to have Maxwell interviewed by the Department of Justice (DoJ) came as Trump faced intense pressure to release the so-called Epstein
files, which his critics claim will implicate him.

Trump's White House has still not released the documents and the president
- who previously promised to publish the files - now describes the matter
as a "Democrat hoax".

The lawyer sent to carry out the Maxwell interview was Trump's Deputy
Attorney General Todd Blanche. Prior to taking up public office, Blanche
was Trump's personal attorney and defended him during his hush money trial, after which the president was convicted of a criminal offence.

Critics said Blanche's role in the Maxwell interview raised questions about the distinction between the DoJ's duties and Trump's personal legal team.

Maxwell - a convicted sex offender - will also be seen by few as a credible witness.

Reports that her testimony was supportive of Trump had already emerged in recent weeks - and given that one of Maxwell's only chances of leaving
prison is a presidential pardon, critics will say that is hardly
surprising.

She was moved to a new low-security prison shortly after the Blanche
interview was carried out.

He'll pardon her on his last day in office if not before, mark my words.
He would've even pardoned his old buddy Epstein out of spite.
