Ghislaine Maxwell’s ENTIRE testimony revealed: Docs show Epstein’s ‘madame’ trying to EVADE sex trafficking allegations

A document containing the testimony of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been made public. The transcript contains lurid details of Maxwell’s sex life, and prosecutors say it shows evidence of perjury.

The deposition was ordered to be released by senior US District Judge Loretta Preska on Monday, and went public on Thursday morning. The interviews with the 58-year-old socialite were conducted in 2016 as part of a since-settled libel case against Maxwell by Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has also accused Maxwell of abusing her.

During the interviews, Maxwell told prosecutors that she invited Giuffre to Epstein’s house to work as a masseuse, while Giuffre was underage. Maxwell also said that she had “no idea” whether another unnamed girl was 13-years-old when she met her.

Giuffre and a number of other girls have accused Maxwell of recruiting them to massage Epstein, an arrangement that would progress into sexual acts. When asked whether these underage masseuses would “perform sexual acts for Jeffrey Epstein,” Maxwell told the prosecutor “I don’t know what you mean by sexual acts,” and later called Giuffre’s accusations “lies.”

Maxwell refused to say whether she participated in any of Epstein’s massage sessions, and kept quiet as prosecutors grilled her on the deceased pedophile’s sexual interests. “I cannot tell you what Jeffrey’s story is,” she said when asked whether “Jeffrey Epstein had a sexual preference for minors.”

Throughout the mammoth 450-page interview, Maxwell remained guarded and evasive. Asked whether she was ever aware of any underage girls visiting Epstein’s Palm Beach home, she said that “the house is actually quite large,” so she would have been unaware of every visitor who came to see Jeffrey.

Maxwell did not deny taking Giuffre to London when Giuffre was 17-years-old. During this trip, Giuffre alleges that she had sex with Prince Andrew in Maxwell’s home. Andrew’s name is redacted from the transcript, but unredacted details – like travel dates and a puppet allegedly gifted to the British royal by Epstein – make it easy to see where Andrew is mentioned. Maxwell said that she “cannot recall” Giuffre and Andrew having sex during that trip, but confirmed that the Duke of York visited Epstein on the pedophile’s private island at least once.

The document will take some time to comb for incriminating information, but Maxwell at certain points seems desperate to cover her tracks. Asked whether she flew on Epstein’s plane with Giuffre, who was underage, Maxwell said she had no way of knowing the girl’s age. When presented with the flight logs, which showed “JE, GM, and Virginia,” Maxwell replied “How do you know the GM is me?”

Goldman Claws Back $174MN From Executives, Shells Out $5BN In Fines Tied To 1MDB Settlements

Update (1300ET): Goldman has just confirmed that the clawbacks and comp reductions stemming from its settlement over 1MDB will equal $174 million. That's much larger than we had suspected.

The DoJ confirmed the settlement in a statement.

“Goldman Sachs today accepted responsibility for its role in a conspiracy to bribe high-ranking foreign officials to obtain lucrative underwriting and other business relating to 1MDB.”– Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt pic.twitter.com/Rk7V9mZIgk

Rabbitt delivered remarks on the enforcement action of "historic significance" - or so he called it - detailing the charges to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the guilty plea from Goldman's Asia unit, and the deferred prosecution agreement entered into by Goldman's parent company.

Just hours after authorities in Hong Kong confirmed that they would become at least the fifth jurisdiction where Goldman Sachs would be forced to pay a fine related to its involvement in 1MDB, WSJ is reporting that senior Goldman executives, including since-departed ex-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, will be forced to surrender tens of millions of dollars in back pay.

New Taped Interview for OANN Reveals Hunter Biden’s Laptop included 40-50 Images of Alleged Child Endangerment with Young Family Member

As Cassandra Fairbanks reported on Tuesday night — Approximately one third of the explicit photos of minors in Hunter Biden’s laptop were of the same 14-year-old girl — who is one of his relatives, according a shocking new report.

Not only were there inappropriate photos of the child on her own, but Hunter Biden was in some of them with her.

“A source close to the matter, though, who claims to have seen the images on Hunter’s laptop, told Revolver that about one-third of the images are of the same underage girl. Some of the images are topless, while in others she is shown in suggestive positions with Hunter himself,” Revolver News reports.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to another source who said the same thing.

Giuliani announced during an appearance on Newsmax on Tuesday evening that he had handed the hard drive over to the Delaware State Police over the images of minors. He also shared a text message exchange between Hunter and what he believes to be his father.

“She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate with [redacted] when she says that I face time naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I’ll walk around naked smoking crack [and talking to] girls on face time,” Hunter says in the exchange.”When she was pressed she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that I create[d] and caused a very unsafe environment for the kids.”

On Thursday morning Jack Posobiec announced that OANN has just taped an interview that confirms there are 40-50 images from Hunter Biden’s computer of alleged child endangerment with a family member.

'Waste Of Time': NPR Refuses To Cover Biden Scandal

NPR Managing Editor Terence Samuels has issued a statement on why the network refuses to cover the Hunter Biden scandal - claiming that it's a 'waste of time' and a 'pure distraction.'

NPR claims that the New York Post investigation into the Bidens has "many red flags" and note that "Intelligence officials warn that Russia has been working overtime to keep the story of Hunter Biden in the spotlight."

Even if Russia can’t be positively connected to this information, the story of how Trump associates Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani came into a copy of this computer hard drive has not been verified and seems suspect. And if that story could be verified, the NY Post did no forensic work to convince consumers that the emails and photos that are the basis for their report have not been altered. -NPR

"We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions," said Samuels. "And quite frankly, that's where we ended up, this was … a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way."

Except, NPR, we now have two ex-business associates of Hunter Biden who have gone on-record with direct email and text evidence that Joe Biden was directly involved in Hunter's business dealings, and appears to have pimped out the office of the Vice Presidency to enrich his family.

According to NPR, this is a 'waste of time.'
