Some on the left have alleged that President Donald Trump has something to hide about his ties to deceased sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

However, those allegations were dealt a major blow this week by statements made by a former Epstein ally. 

Ghislaine Maxwell said she never witnessed improper behavior by Trump

In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years behind bars for her role in helping Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.

According to ABC News, Maxwell spent nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month over a two-day period.

The news outlet cited multiple unnamed sources who indicated that Maxwell told Blanche she never witnessed Trump engaged in concerning behavior.

Those sources also said that the interviews were recorded, with transcripts expected to be made public sometime in the coming days.

Maxwell's attorney opposes release of grand jury transcripts

Meanwhile, The Hill reported on Tuesday that Maxwell's legal team is opposing the Trump administration's efforts to unseal grand jury testimony concerning Epstein.

Attorney David Oscar Markus is representing Maxwell, and he argued in a brief that she "has no choice" but to oppose the material being made public.

"Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain," Markus wrote.

He noted how U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer has denied her request to first review the transcript despite receiving no objections from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

"Given that she is actively litigating her case and does not know what is in the grand jury record, she has no choice but to respectfully oppose the government’s motion to unseal it," Markus asserted.

Maxwell wants Supreme Court to overturn conviction

What's more, Maxwell has asked the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction, maintaining that she is covered by a plea agreement which Epstein entered into with federal prosecutors in 2007.

Under its terms, Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges in exchange for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida not prosecuting him or any coconspirators under federal law.
