The release of the transcripts and audio recordings of Maxwell's interview comes amid intense public curiosity about Epstein and as Trump tries to tamp down a political crisis stemming from the Justice Department's decision not to release files from its probe of Epstein.

The family of Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein's most vocal accuser, said the interview gave Ghislaine Maxwell a "platform to rewrite history."

Jeffrey Epstein’s former associate was interviewed by a top Justice Department official to find out what she may know about the disgraced financier’s abuse.
