Report: Ghislaine Maxwell told DOJ that she witnessed no crimes by Trump
In recent weeks, some Democrats have suggested that President Donald Trump has something to hide regarding his relationship with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
However, an interview with Epstein's accomplice and former girlfriend has apparently left the president vindicated.
Ghislaine Maxwell spoke with deputy attorney general for nine hours
That's according to ABC News, which pointed to a nine hour conversation which Ghislaine Maxwell had with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month.
The news network cited multiple sources as saying that Maxwell told Blanch she never witnessed the president engage in concerning behavior.
Maxwell was sentenced to two decades in federal prison for her role in helping Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
ABC News noted that she was transferred from a correction facility in Tallahassee, Florida last week to a lower security prison in Texas.
For his part, Trump told reporters that he was unaware of Maxwell's move, saying, "I didn't know about it at all, no. I read about it just like you did. It's not a very uncommon thing."
Maxwell is seeking to have conviction overturned
This is not the first time Maxwell has made headlines over the past month, as The Guardian reported that she is seeking to have her conviction overturned.
The newspaper observed that Maxwell's lawyers have filed a petition with the Supreme Court which points to a 2007 agreement federal prosecutors in Florida reached with Epstein.
It involved Epstein pleading 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.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has responded by asserting that Epstein's deal only applied in the Southern District of Florida.
Supreme Court to consider taking Maxwell's case
As NBC News pointed out, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan presided over Maxwell's trial, and she agreed with the DOJ's assessment.
What's more, Nathan highlighted the fact that the agreement in question only concerned crimes which were committed between 2001 and 2007.
In contrast, Maxwell was convicted of offenses that took place between 1994 and 1997, a period of time which ended "some four years before the period covered by the Southern District of Florida investigation."
