Trump Administration Weighs Release Of Ghislaine Maxwell's DOJ Interview: Reports

The alleged debate over releasing them comes after Maxwell was transferred to a minimum-security prison without explanation.

President Donald Trump’s administration is weighing the release of an audio recording of the Justice Department’s recent interview with Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, senior administration officials told CNN and Fox News on Tuesday.

The reports come days after Maxwell, who’s serving a 20-year sex-trafficking sentence, was transferred from a Florida federal prison to a lower-security facility in Texas without explanation, fueling criticism of the Trump administration’s lack of transparency around the Epstein case and raising questions about a potential deal with Maxwell.

“A final decision has not been made,” one of the officials told CNN. Another said that if the recording were released, it likely would be in the next few weeks.

White House spokesperson Steven Cheung dismissed the reports in a statement to HuffPost.

Trump told Newsmax on Friday that he’d “like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt.”
