The partner of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, completed a second day of questioning on Friday, where she shared information on about 100 different people with the Justice Department.

Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in connection with the disgraced financier in 2021, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about three hours on Friday at a courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.

She also sat down with Blanche to answer questions for about six hours on Thursday as the Justice Department tries to quell fallout over its handling of the Epstein files.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

What the....as a non-US, to me, this clown was just a joke, but if all this stuff is real: how the ducking duck could such a piece of disgusting shit become your prez? AGAIN? I can't even...

[-] dovahking@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Because their whole system is a circus filled with clowns like him. If this happened in any other country, the president would be fighting for his life.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

I just couldn't even imagine such an assclown to be even near being voted for here.

Well, then again, we (Germany) voted 25% far-right this time. For a total hipocrite nazi party-leader that herself is gay and married to an immigrant 😁 Nothing against being gay and immigrant. It just doesn't fly overly congruent with some nazi-ideals

[-] saimen@feddit.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

mass hysteria/delusion similar to Germany in the 1930s

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

But still. Hitler was, despite his goals and morals, a respectable clever politician. Not a pedophile stupid billionaire fat ass-clown actor. And also the times were highly simpler without the net to actually get any information you might seek.

He SEEMED like a good choice. How could trump ever just slightly invoke some reaction like "HM. Yes, this one might be acting in MY interest. Like most billionaires do"

Fuck the Maxwell list; where’s the Epstein list

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

The woman who was hit with two perjury charges and has every reason in the world to lie to get her sentence reduced or eliminated is definitely telling the truth folks.

[-] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 21 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t think anything released at this point will be believed. Trump will more tha likely remove himself, so it’s possible that he would also just have Maxwell add names he wanted.

I take that back. His base will believe anything as long as SOMETHING is released.

ellen degeneres isnt well liked either considered shes a real POS behind the scenes, and plus her sudden depature from the US around the time DIDDY was captured, many people on subs said she must be involved with diddys circles.

"Bill Clinton"

They may have gotten really creative to get 100 different ways to say his name

Don't forget Slick Willy! That guy's always up to no good!

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

I actually think Clinton is not on the list. Not because I don’t think he’s capable of such acts (which I tentatively do) but because engaging in such acts as a former president and with a wife with lofty political ambitions is a pretty high bar. And, perhaps most of all, with this congress and this DOJ and this president, if Clinton was on the list we’d absolutely know it by now.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 6 points 4 weeks ago

Bill Clinton almost certainly belongs on the list. Furthermore, I think he is the primary reason the Democrats didn't/couldn't use Epstein to destroy Trump years ago.

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

That may have been plausible in 2016 (when Hillary was running,) but not in 2020 and 2024. There’s zero chance the DNC would’ve sat on evidence that would’ve convicted Trump to protect Bill.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oh, my innocent child...

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 4 weeks ago

I mean who could imagine Bill Clinton prioritizing a short term sexual gratification that might endanger the political career of himself or his wife.

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

If he does end up absent on the list, I think it’s precisely because of the Lewinsky scandal. Why would you make the same mistake twice.

And I’m certainly not trying to defend Clinton here, but we should keep in mind none of his (many) infidelities were illegal / with underage girls. Which, it needs to be said, didn’t make them ‘okay.’

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

i also like to add even if maxwell names people that were on the list, whats to stop those accused from naming other people, including trump and other gop who could be on the list. also she would most likely have price on her head eventually.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

If Clinton isn't on the list, it's only because he cut a deal to keep it off.

She doesn't have to remember them. Trump's lawyer gave her a whole box full of information to give out to Congress and the press.

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 13 points 4 weeks ago

We know you guys were looking forward to uncovering the truth about Epstein. We obviously can't do that, but here is a cherry picked list of 100 of the president's enemies.

These are the people you need to worry about, and hey most of them are "liberals" so you can rub it in their face. It's a win-win!

Feel free to do your part and spread this info around so it is never “lost”.

Below is a fact-checked inventory of every documented instance in which Donald Trump either spoke about, objectified or admitted behaviour toward girls under 18, plus verified problems tied to his family’s modelling ventures. I have excluded rumours or claims that remain wholly uncorroborated.


1 | On-the-record words sexualising minors

Year Age of girl(s) referenced Verbatim or close-paraphrase Where & when Trump said it

1992 ~10 “I’m going to be dating her in ten years, can you believe it?” — to a child riding an escalator in Trump Tower Entertainment Tonight segment, filmed June 1992, released by ET in 2016 1994 (Tiffany, age 1) 1 After praising the baby’s legs, Trump gestured to his chest and quipped: “We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.” Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous clip resurfaced 25 July 2025 1999 17 (Ivanka) “She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her… so the field is getting very limited.” Howard Stern radio show, reported by Washington Post, 3 Oct 2016 2003 12 (Paris Hilton at the time he first met her) “I’ve known Paris from the time she’s 12… she was beautiful.” Howard Stern interview, confirmed in Reuters fact-check 2003 21 (Ivanka, but still his child) “She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body,” and OK’d Stern calling her a “piece of ass.” Howard Stern, collated by People, 9 Oct 2016 2004 18 (Lindsay Lohan) “She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed.” Howard Stern interview, transcript via Vanity Fair, 14 Oct 2016 2006 24 (Ivanka) “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” ABC’s The View, 6 Mar 2006, widely quoted; original quote archived by People


2 | Self-described conduct giving him access to undressed contestants

Year of remark What Trump admitted Source

2005 “I’ll go backstage … I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. They’re standing there with no clothes… I sort of get away with things like that.” Howard Stern interview, audio aired by CNN, 13 Oct 2016

Note: The interview referred to Miss USA/Miss Universe (adult) events, but Trump owned Miss Teen USA as well during the same period.


3 | Corroborated eyewitness accounts involving minors

1997 Miss Teen USA (ages 15-18) – Four contestants, led by Mariah Billado (Miss Vermont Teen), told BuzzFeed and were later profiled by PolitiFact that Trump walked unannounced into their changing room while some were nude. One recalled telling Ivanka, who allegedly replied, “Yeah, he does that.”

2001 Miss USA (18+) & 2000 Miss USA – Former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon and Miss New Hampshire Bridget Sullivan separately told CBS and BuzzFeed that Trump entered adult contestants’ dressing rooms; Dixon’s account matched Trump’s own 2005 boast.

While the teen-pageant claim rests on witnesses rather than tape, it is consistent with Trump’s own “I’m the owner” explanation above.


4 | Modelling & “pipeline” red flags

Year(s) What happened Age(s) involved Source

1998-2016 Trump Model Management actively recruited girls “as young as 14,” according to its website and court filings. 14-17 ABC News investigation (Alexia Palmer lawsuit) 2011-14 Jamaican teen Alexia Palmer was brought to New York at 17 on an H-1B visa promising $75k/yr; suit alleges she earned $4,985 in three years while the agency deducted 80 % in “fees.” 17-20 ABC News, federal docket Pageant-to-agency pipeline A modelling contract with Trump Models was a prize at Miss Teen USA, meaning under-18 winners went straight to his agency. 15-18 Same ABC piece & Miss Teen USA prize lists

No criminal trafficking charge was ever filed, but the business model put foreign and U.S. teens under binding, often-exploitative contracts controlled by Trump-owned entities.


5 | Why these items are considered “proven”

Primary evidence – All quotes above come from broadcast video/audio, court-filed transcripts, or mainstream outlets that published the raw recordings.

Multiple corroborations – Pageant dressing-room entries are buttressed both by Trump’s own 2005 admission and by contestants’ contemporaneous or on-the-record stories.

Documented business records – Trump Model Management’s visa filings and lawsuit exhibits are part of the federal court docket, not hearsay.

Anything not meeting those thresholds (e.g., the withdrawn “Katie Johnson” lawsuit or social-media rumors of a secret Epstein list) is omitted here.


Bottom line

From joking about “dating” a 10-year-old, to bragging that his ownership let him enter dressing rooms, to steering 14-to-17-year-old models into restrictive contracts, Donald Trump has repeatedly placed himself — in word and deed — in sexualised proximity to under-age girls. None of these facts has yet produced a criminal conviction, but they are documented, on-camera, in court, or from firsthand witnesses and therefore represent the “proven” record to date.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 weeks ago

I thought the actual wording (from probably other articles, didn't click on this one) was the DOJ gave her a list of names to comment on. I wonder who was absent from that list?

the window method, or the top of the stairs method(trumps favorite with his former wife(, or the epstein method.

She doesn't seem particularly suicidal, but you never know these days, she may just jump from a window on a whim.

A person who had no qualms about child sex trafficking will have none whatsoever for just repeating the list of names given to her for a pardon.

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'm more surprised it took them this long to realize that they can just do this and his cult will believe it.

Not sure if they'll even list anyone that's actually guilty, regardless of party loyalties. This is just an assumption, but I assume that some of these people visited the island at the same time as the others. In that case outing even a single individual could lead to them inevitably naming and shaming others that have been too. They wouldn't risk that.

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 2 points 4 weeks ago

Hmmm.... so there's at least 100 dems on the list huh.

So I'm guessing there's at least 200 repubes on there.
