Jeffrey Epstein's former associate and convicted sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell, makes a shocking claim during a recent interview with the Department of Justice. She says Epstein told her he had heart problems, and those heart conditions prevented him from regular sexual intercourse. Her statement highly contradicts victim testimony about Epstein's weekly nonconsensual abuse of underage girls. Maxwell continues in the interview that former President Bill Clinton was her friend, not Jeffrey. Epstein’s, and Clinton never received a ‘massage’ in Epstein’s company.When asked if President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses, Maxwell replied, "Absolutely never, in any context."She denies knowing whether masseuses from Mar-a-Lago's spa ended up giving Jeffrey Epstein private massages.When asked if she herself recruited any for Epstein, Maxwell states, "I've never recruited a masseuse from Mar-a-Lago for that, as far as I remember." Maxwell also claims there is no list or little black book of famous people who were provided minors for the purposes of sex trafficking. Virginia Guiffre’s family and other Epstein victims have slammed the government’s decision to interview Ghislaine Maxwell and release the tapes, saying Maxwell was passed a microphone and given a platform to ‘rewrite history.’ Joining Nancy Grace today: Troy Slaten - Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, Slaten Lawyers; X @TroySlaten Dani Pinter - Senior Vice President and Director of Law Center, National Center on Sexual Exploitation Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLive Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", @JoScottForensic Tisa Tells - Pop Culture Investigator & Commentator and Host of 'Tisa Tells' on YouTube; YouTube: @TisaTells, Instagram & TikTok: @TisaTellss Sydney Sumner - Crime Stories Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chilling newly released body cam video relives the horror of the murders of four University of Idaho students. The surviving roommates are seen outside the home with police, giving full details of what happened the night Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were killed by a lone intruder. Surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen tells Officer Mitch Nunes she heard a person she believed was Kaylee scream that "somebody" was in the house, then heard someone run down from the third floor to Xana's room on the second floor, where she then heard what she called a "commotion." Mortensen says the sounds of a struggle die down, and she hears an unfamiliar male voice say, "You're going to be fine. I'm going to help you." After hearing the man saying, "I'm going to help you," Dylan opens the door and sees Bryan Kohberger, describing him to Officer Nunes as "six feet tall, slim build, a black mask, with bushy eyebrows." Officers responding to the 911 call from 1122 King Road find the kitchen door ajar. During a walk through the rental house, officers notice blood is smeared on the walls and floors and pooling by their bodies that are on different floors in the house.

Jaclyn Diiorio, 26, a hairstylist, and her police officer boyfriend broke up after dating for nearly a year. The relationship had been contentious, with both filing protective orders. After the breakup, Diiorio began dating again and turned to Tinder. During conversations with a match, Diiorio said she wanted her ex dead and asked if he could carry it out, noting that her ex was a Philadelphia police officer. The Tinder date was a police informant and contacted county prosecutors. Detectives notified Philadelphia police, who then informed the officer and identified him as the target. The officer told investigators he met Diiorio when she cut his hair. Authorities arrested Diiorio in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, after the informant reported that she offered him $12,000 to kill her ex and his 19-year-old daughter.
