Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier and sex offender, died in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while waiting for trial on trafficking charges. Officials ruled his death a suicide, but controversy continues.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former partner who is serving 20 years for sex trafficking, recently spoke with Department of Justice investigators. In the interview, Maxwell clearly stated that she doesn't believe Epstein killed himself. When asked about possible reasons for his death, Maxwell rejected theories about powerful people ordering his murder.
She argued that if someone wanted to harm Epstein, they could have done it before he went to prison. Maxwell called the idea that Epstein was killed to hide damaging information 'ridiculous.' She also denied that Epstein had a client list or blackmailed people. If his death wasn't suicide, she suggested it was more likely an 'internal situation' in the prison.
The case has attracted political attention, with some accusing former President Trump of being involved in a coverup. Multiple FBI and DOJ investigations have found no evidence supporting conspiracy theories, but public doubt remains high.
