The Trump Administration may be about to turn over a new leaf when it comes to transparency regarding the ongoing Epstein uproar.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Epstein’s partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell was interviewed by the Department of Justice last month. Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, told the press after the second day of interviews that his client answered questions about ‘a hundred people’.
Now, CNN reports that the Department of Justice has an audio recording of the interview and is seriously considering releasing it for public consumption.
This is also the first time the recording has been reported.
Should the interview be released, sensitive details like victim names would have to be redacted.
One official told CNN that a final decision has not been reached. Some within the White House believe most Americans have already moved on from the controversy.
More from CNN:
Another official told CNN that, within the White House, some of the conversation has focused on whether making the details from the interview public would bring the Epstein controversy back to the surface at a time when many officials close to President Donald Trump believe the story has largely died down.
However, the officials, many of whom have been frustrated with the rollout of the information regarding the Epstein case, have been eager to take control of the narrative and optics around the issue.
Two of the administration officials said if they were to release the audio and transcript, it would likely be done sooner rather than later. One said the release could be several weeks from now, depending on what the most senior-level officials within the West Wing and Justice Department decide. It was not immediately clear whether the White House and DOJ were aligned on the issue.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a salty response to CNN’s report, mocking them for trying to create old news and their low ratings while also pointing out that Trump has already addressed the issue.
“This is nothing more than CNN trying desperately to create news out of old news. Trump already addressed this issue in an interview with Newsmax, a real news outlet that routinely gets better ratings than CNN,” Steven Cheung told CNN.
Careful what you wish for Dims.
Part of me thinks this was Trump’s plan all along. Slow walk it until the are ready to impeach him over it (if they could) and then say, “OK, but remember, you asked for it”
I hope they do. The truth can be like a sword to the Deep State, Democrats and Republicans alike.
Apparently there is some clamor for this.................
Good news.
Maxwell needs super tight security!!
They ran the recorder right after they agreed on what she was going to say.
Nothing in this case is untainted. And nothing is ever going to clear the air on this. Trump poisoned the well. And he did so intentionally.
Conspiracists already have their excuse ready for this, they are saying Maxwell is just saying whatever she needs to get out of jail.
So, you see, no matter what this Epstein thing will never die. I think Trump’s attitude about it all is correct, just another Democrat hoax designed to never end so as to destroy the administration.
“””Trump poisoned the well. And he did so intentionally.”””
And nobody cares about EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN.
This article is referring to this article at CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/trump-blanche-epstein-maxwell-interview-transcript
The Justice Department has an audio recording of the interview it conducted with Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell last month, and the administration is considering releasing a transcript of the interview publicly, three senior administration officials told CNN.
The existence of the recording has not been previously reported and comes at a time when the Trump administration is facing pressure to be more transparent with the information it has related to Epstein.
Consider? Release!
Biden's SDNY was in controlled of these file for four years yet you're here claiming that Trump poisoned the well.
Consider? Release!
“Maxwell needs super tight security!!”
She does, but if anything were to happen to her, there would be more clamoring for the release of the transcripts.
All the left’s speculation on Trump’s involvement is hilarious to watch, only one person knows Trump’s involvement; Trump.
No one really cares except the rabble rousers.
Obama and Biden had 12 years...all of a sudden, it's the most important story in the history of the world....aka....just another typical Dem "disturbance".
Of course it would have been recorded...like duh...
The transcript will not be released is my prediction.
They rolled out the JFK documents. Millions of people are still reading every word. /s
