LOS ANGELES — There is increasing demand for the government to publish the transcript of the Justice Department’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, along with the Epstein documents.
On Wednesday, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein’s spoke out about it.
“As the political parties clash over this issue, the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell frequently go unheard,” commented lawyer Gloria Allred.
Actress Alicia Arden, an alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein, answered questions in high-profile attorney Allred’s office on Wednesday.
“I believe, yes, the files should be released. I’m tired of the government saying that they want to release them, so please just do it,” Arden said.
A Baywatch actress is reportedly the first known individual to have lodged a police report against Epstein in 1997 for sexual misconduct, according to Allred.
As detailed in that report, Arden met Epstein at the Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica, thinking it was a modeling interview for Victoria’s Secret.
The report mentions that Epstein instructed her to disrobe, then lifted her top and skirt, touched her inappropriately, and stated, “Allow me to handle you momentarily.”
This press briefing follows two full days of discussions held by the Department of Justice with Maxwell, an accomplice of Epstein. Debate continues within the Trump administration over the release of the nine-hour transcript.
“Although her credibility might be questionable, I am curious to find out what the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, inquired of her and her responses,” Arden mentioned.
In that interview, Maxwell told DOJ investigators that President Donald Trump never did anything concerning around her, according to ABC News.
Trump has told the press he has the power to pardon Maxwell if he chooses to.
“Should Ms. Maxwell be pardoned? No. Ghislaine Maxwell should not be pardoned. She was convicted of sex trafficking of children,” Arden said.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, but was transferred last week from federal prison to a minimum-security women’s camp in Texas.
