The Department of Justice released transcripts and audio recordings of interviews with Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's imprisoned former girlfriend.

In a courthouse interview with the deputy attorney general, Ms. Maxwell, who has been convicted of sex trafficking, maintained that President Trump and other famous figures were not involved.

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.
