During his nine hours to speak with the vice-prosecutor General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview who would be harmful to President Donald Trump, saying to Blanche that Trump had never done anything in his presence which would have aroused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said.
The Trump administration, on the other hand, plans to publicly publish the transcriptions of the interview, have told ABC News to several familiar sources with internal discussions.
Maxwell meetings with Blanche took place for nine hours over two days.
There is also an audio recording of the interview, said the sources, but it is not clear if the administration plans to publish audio to support any public version of the transcription.
The public release of transcriptions could arrive this week, the sources said.
Maxwell, partner of the sex offender at the end of Jeffrey Epstein, was found guilty of sex trafficking and other accusations and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022, which she served in a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her recent move to a more relaxed federal camp in Texas. She appeals to her sentence to the Supreme Court of the United States.
ABC previously pointed out that it was Maxwell who had asked for the interview with the DoJ, according to sources familiar with the issue. Maxwell also asks the Supreme Court to review his conviction and Trump has not excluded forgiveness for her.

Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus said that after his meetings with Blanche, Maxwell “would welcome any relief”. He also said Maxwell had been asked about “a hundred different people” and said “she hadn’t held anything back”.
Trump, asked on Tuesday if he had approved the transfer of prison for Maxwell, said: “I did not know it at all, no. I have read about it like you. It is not a very rare thing,”
Trump also said that everything Blanche discussed with Maxwell during his meetings with her would be “totally above the board”.
After his first day of meetings with Maxwell, Blanche tweeted that “the Ministry of Justice will share additional information on what we learned at the appropriate time”.
CNN first reported that the administration was planning to release transcriptions.
In an interview with Newsmax last week, when he was asked when the Americans could hear about the content of the meeting, Trump said: “I don’t know, because I didn’t talk about it, but he is a very talented guy, Todd Blanche, and a very straight shooter, and I think he was probably knowing, you just know to have a feeling.
