Convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell told U.S. attorneys in July that she “never” saw President Donald Trump “in any inappropriate setting” with the late financier, an interview transcript shows.

Maxwell contradicted longstanding rumors about Trump’s relationship with Epstein in a July 24 transcribed interview that the Department of Justice (DOJ) published Friday. Maxwell said that Epstein and Trump were “friendly like people are in social settings” and that she never saw him indulge in any of the sordid sexual practices associated with Epstein, such as receiving massages from very young women.

“I actually never saw the President in any type of massage setting,” Maxwell told Blanche, according to the transcript. “I never witnessed the President in any inappropriate setting in any way. The President was never inappropriate with anybody.”

“In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects,” Maxwell said.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for grooming underage women to be abused by Epstein, whom she was connected to for decades before he died in a New York jail cell in 2019. Blanche announced
