Mega Edition: Transcripts From The DOJ's Sit Down With Ghislaine Maxwell (Part 18-20) (12/30/25)

The missing 82-page federal charging document represents the single most consequential suppressed record in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, it reportedly laid out a sweeping case involving interstate sex trafficking, recruitment networks, and co-conspirator conduct that could have ended Epstein’s abuse years earlier. Instead, the Department of Justice abandoned the federal prosecution without a transparent explanation and replaced it with a narrowly constructed state plea deal that insulated Epstein and foreclosed broader accountability. Survivors and their attorneys have long argued that this was not a matter of weak evidence or prosecutorial caution, but a deliberate decision to contain exposure and protect institutional interests rather than pursue justice.The DOJ’s continued refusal to release the charging document has become a central symbol of institutional self-protection overriding accountability. Despite Epstein’s death and repeated demands from victims invoking their rights under federal law, the department has declined to even formally acknowledge the document, signaling deep concern about what its contents would reveal. Critics argue that full disclosure is now essential to restoring credibility, as the suppression of the document not only obscured how close Epstein came to federal prosecution but also set a dangerous precedent that reputation management can supersede the rule of law. Without releasing the full record behind the Non-Prosecution Agreement—including the abandoned charging document—claims of transparency and reform remain hollow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell repeatedly pointed to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) as a shield against her own criminal exposure, arguing that the deal’s language was broad enough to insulate not just Epstein, but those who allegedly assisted him. Her defense leaned heavily on the clause that purported to cover unnamed “co-conspirators,” claiming that federal prosecutors had already bargained away the government’s ability to charge her years later. By framing the NPA as a sweeping, binding promise, Maxwell attempted to recast herself as a beneficiary of Epstein’s deal—despite not being a signatory and despite the agreement being negotiated without victims’ meaningful input.Courts ultimately rejected that strategy, finding that the NPA did not grant Maxwell immunity and could not be stretched to function as a blanket pardon for future defendants. Judges emphasized that the agreement bound only the parties who signed it, applied to a specific jurisdiction, and did not override later federal prosecutions based on independently gathered evidence. In effect, Maxwell’s reliance on the NPA backfired: it highlighted how aggressively Epstein’s deal had been used to suppress accountability, while underscoring that she was trying to inherit protections never legally hers. The failure of that argument reinforced a central point of her case—that Epstein’s extraordinary deal distorted justice—but it did not save her from facing charges herself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Joseph Schnitt, a Department of Justice official, was recently caught in a sting operation by a James O’Keefe operative posing as a date on a dating app. During the secretly recorded meeting, Schnitt claimed the DOJ planned to redact Republican names from the Jeffrey Epstein files while leaving liberal names visible, fueling suspicions of political bias in the release of the documents. He also alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison was essentially a favor to keep her quiet, and described internal conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over whether to release the files.After the footage surfaced, the DOJ quickly distanced itself from Schnitt’s comments, calling them “personal views based on media reports” with “absolutely zero bearing on reality.” Schnitt himself insisted he didn’t know he was being recorded and that he was speaking offhand, not offering insider information. Still, the incident embarrassed the DOJ, provided fresh fuel for critics of the Epstein cover-up, and underscored just how easily an official could spill sensitive claims in an unguarded moment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Top DOJ Official Spills Jeffrey Epstein Cover-Up Plans to HoneytrapBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Marina Lacerda, now 37, revealed that she was first approached by Epstein in 2002 when she was just 14, under the pretext of providing massage services, which led to years of sexual abuse in his New York residence. She recounted horrifying details of Epstein’s home operating like a "revolving door," hosting up to 5–10 women per day. After being contacted originally by investigators in 2008—only for Epstein to secure a secret non-prosecution agreement that prevented her from testifying before a grand jury—she was approached again over a decade later, and her testimony ultimately became pivotal in the 2019 sex-trafficking charges against him .Lacerda passionately called for transparency by urging the Trump administration to release all files related to Epstein’s crimes—not only for the sake of the victims but also for the American public. She emphasized that access to her records would help her—and others—begin to heal, acting as a broader demand for public accountability and truth. Her plea aligns with a broader bipartisan congressional push, led by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, to force the Justice Department to disclose Epstein‑related documents, despite claims that no "client list" exists.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'We need the Epstein files to be out': Central witness in Epstein case speaks publicly for 1st time - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Valdson Cotrin, who managed Epstein’s Paris residence for 18 years, publicly challenged the official ruling that Epstein died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019. He insisted that Epstein “loved life too much” to have taken his own life and believed his boss was intent on negotiating bail. Cotrin expressed fear for his own safety, citing the mysterious deaths of individuals tied to the case—including accuser Virginia Giuffre and modeling agent Jean‑Luc Brunel—as cause for concern.Beyond doubts about Epstein’s death, Cotrin painted a picture of Epstein as deeply connected within elite circles. He made striking claims—including that Epstein told him Trump offered him a job in his administration, which Epstein declined, and recalling Ghislaine Maxwell as the true authority in his household. Cotrin also recounted memorable moments, such as collecting Epstein from the Paris airport and encountering Bill Clinton, describing the experience as intimidating—he "was trembling"—and confirmed he retains photographs of himself with both Epstein and Clinton, despite claiming he never witnessed the criminal behavior Epstein was accused of.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein 'loved life too much' to kill himself and must have been murdered, his butler says as he spills the beans on everyone who visited - from Prince Andrew to Bill Clinton | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
