Ghislaine Maxwell reveals she met Jeffrey Epstein after going through a ‘bad break-up’
Ghislaine Maxwell told the DOJ how she met Jeffrey Epstein after going through a ‘bad break-up’ with her long-term boyfriend.
She was visiting New York and her friend offered to set her up with a date.
‘He's been dating my sister. You'll love him. He's looking for a wife,’ she recalled her friend saying.
Maxwell lamented that she was ‘edging towards 30’ at the time.
‘I don't need to tell you guys. That's a very important moment or a girl to, like, think about important things,’ she said.

It was around 1991 when she then met Epstein for the first time at his offices on Madison Garden.
Ghislaine Maxwell denies ever having trust fund in DOJ transcripts
In the freshly unsealed interview transcripts, Ghislaine Maxwell pushed back on long-standing claims about her wealth.

Ghislaine Maxwell claims Epstein did not kill himself
In the interview with the DOJ, Ghislaine Maxwell said she believes Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself in a Manhattan prison.
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
An autopsy determined he died by suicide.
When asked about Epstein's death, Maxwell said: 'I do not believe he died by suicide, no.'
However she said she did not have any insight or view into who killed him.
'I ask that because, if you don't believe that there's any truth to the allegations of blackmail or that he had kind of a list, or that he had reasons to have people hate him, why would somebody kill him in prison?' US Deputy AG Todd Blanche asked.
Maxwell responded: 'In prison, where I am, they will kill you or they will pay -somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you for $25 worth of commissary. That's about the going rate for a hit with a lock today.'
