The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday released more than 300 pages of interview transcripts in which convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that she does not believe Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. “I do not believe he died by suicide, no,” Maxwell said during the July session at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence, offered no theory about who might have killed Epstein but remarked that in prison “somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you for $25 worth of commissary.” She also dismissed long-running speculation about a secret “client list,” saying none existed. The interview formed part of Maxwell’s continuing bid for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, according to the documents. Epstein, 66, was found hanging in his cell at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The New York medical examiner ruled the death a suicide, but security lapses and partial camera failures have fueled years of conspiracy theories. Maxwell’s statements, now public, are likely to revive scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and the government’s handling of the broader investigation.
