Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, has broken her silence with a bombshell claim involving former US President Donald Trump. In a startling revelation, Maxwell alleges that Trump played a role in closing the Epstein case, adding another layer of intrigue to the already scandal-ridden saga.
Maxwell's Explosive Allegations
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, has made these claims in a newly released statement. She suggests that Trump's influence may have been a factor in the handling of the Epstein investigation, though she provides no concrete evidence to support her assertions.

Donald Trump has yet to publicly respond to Maxwell's allegations. However, the former president has previously distanced himself from Epstein, despite past social interactions between the two. Legal experts are divided on the credibility of Maxwell's claims, with some calling it a desperate attempt to shift blame.
