Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has dismissed claims that a secret “Epstein client list” exists, calling the idea a conspiracy theory.
In a newly unsealed 300-page transcript of her July interrogation, Maxwell told U.S. officials: “There is no list.” The statement challenges widespread speculation that Epstein kept records of powerful associates linked to his alleged sex trafficking network.
The transcript shows Maxwell defending several high-profile figures. She said former U.S. President Donald Trump was always “a gentleman” in her presence and never acted inappropriately, adding that Trump and Epstein were only “socially friendly.” She also rejected allegations against former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew, calling claims against the Duke of York “mind-blowingly not conceivable.”
Maxwell further denied introducing Prince Andrew to Epstein, describing such reports as false.
On Epstein’s 2019 death, officially ruled a suicide in his New York jail cell, Maxwell said she did not believe he killed himself but also dismissed theories of assassination, calling them “ludicrous.”
Now serving a 20-year prison sentence, Maxwell has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. Her legal team has also raised the possibility of a presidential pardon. Following the July interview, she was quietly transferred from a Florida facility to a low-security prison in Texas, though authorities did not give reasons for the move.
Her comments have drawn sharp criticism from Epstein’s victims, including Virginia Giuffre’s family, who described Maxwell as a “monster” seeking to rehabilitate her image.
The transcript was released amid renewed calls for transparency about Epstein’s connections. While Maxwell insists “there is no list,” her denial is unlikely to quell years of speculation that powerful individuals may have been shielded from scrutiny.
