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...

[-] saimen@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

mass hysteria/delusion similar to Germany in the 1930s

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week 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"

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

He didn't get elected, they rigged the election. He won ALL the battleground states? That stretches credulity wildly.

Supposedly there were MILLIONS of people who voted a straight Democratic ticket, but with Trump at the top, and they put him over the top. However, I've never met or read any statements from a single one of those alleged voters, not one. Both Dems and MAGAs claim the election was fair & square, so who are these split voters? Where are they? Produce five of them. For that matter, produce just one.

They don't exist. The election was rigged.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

But rigged? Two fucking times? Why even vote at all

[-] IntangibleSloth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

"Elon knows those voting machines so well!" - Trump on inauguration day.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

That'd explain the second time, but not the first

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, given our low voter turnouts...

Roughly 1/3 of our population is so stupid and hateful that they would rather have a President that hurts people they don't like, than uh... anything else.

I feel like a lot of non US people really do not fully comprehend the level of just literal hatred that fuels many Americans, as well as how common it is to be extremely charismatically performative in a massively hypocritical way, in just every aspect of life.

We are a country of adults that read at an average of a 6th grade level, with astonishing levels of religious extremism and cults (compared to other countries with similar levels of economic development), who are aware our society is collapsing, but are largely too stupid to even understand why.

We were sold the lie of American Exceptionalism, were indoctrinated into it as a sort of secular cult, it is now apparent this is/was all a lie, and people are (have been) essentially having a kind of mass psychosis in terms of how they handle this revalation.

Our systems are massively corrupt, they've been incrementally corrupting for decades, but the effect has been snowballing.

A few people and groups would pop up from time to time and point this out, and push for a specific, meaningful reform to actually stymie this at a systemic level, and they would be crushed by both corporate and political PR campaigns, but also just a general sense of 'you are overreacting and hysterical' in the broad population, that came from that smug security of the American Exceptionalism ethos.

Basically, we are largely a nation of incurious, brutish, overconfident, malignant narcissists, who revel in biased reasoning ortiented toward justifying an already held belief, who are often already taught from a young age to evaluate the world with the irrational magical thinking of religious cults, which normalizes cognitive dissonance and conspiracism, which then leads to the present outcome you correctly find to be so absurd.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

You have wonderfully and eloquently summarized it all. On a depressing, dytopian level of hopelessness. Yes, that's the same impression I get. The average murican (excluding some poor awakies like you who have to sit in midst of a moribund system, they'll have to observe decaying, knowing exactly why and how) gives the impression of a prime Dunning-Kruger-example. Overconfident and loudly voicing an opinion that shouldn't be voiced at all. By the power of a great imaginary sky-friend.

Like your awesome Carlin said (hope to quote it correctly): "of course the american dream is still relevant. You just have to be asleep to believe it"

I grew up with high respect for that great country. And only some decades later I pity the average Joe who has to live there.

[-] dovahking@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week 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 1 points 1 week 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

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week 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.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Fuck the Maxwell list; where’s the Epstein list

[-] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 20 points 1 week 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.

[-] GhostTheToast@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

100%. They don't want truth, they want blood

[-] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Plus she was annoying in that American Express commercial

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

i heard about her behind the scenes, being a monster, than after the family guy parody of her explaining it,

[-] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 14 points 1 week ago

And here I am, having trouble to come even close to remembering 100 names.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] tylerkdurdan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

point of order: todd blanche was trumps personal attorny not just a few short months ago. I didnt want anyone thinking that DOJ sent someone that was impartial to broker a sham deal

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

"Bill Clinton"
"William Jefferson Clinton"
"Will Clinton"
"Billy Jeff"
"Bubba C"

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

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week 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 5 points 1 week 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 1 week 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.

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[-] dhork@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I don't think Clinton's on the actual client list, either, even though we know he flew in his plane. But he is definitely on the list that they asked Maxwell to rubber-stamp.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week 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?

*Sorry if double post said there was an error

[-] Wazowski@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

HMM I WONDER IF SHE’S GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

IMO after epstein... she's almost certainly got a dead mans switch out there.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

Nah, she'll be fine because she's going to lie. They're already laundering her reputation

It's going to be very funny

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Idontopenenvelopes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I can guess what name was left off that list.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

A lot more than one, I'm sure. Willing to be a lot of money traded hands between a lot of middle men before those 100 names were finalized.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Why the heck is he always titled "financier", while he was just a kid-rapist. It's not your "job" that defines you goddammit.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe "financier" is just a fancy word for "kid-rapist"?

[-] rauls5@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

“We have redacted one name.”

“Would you look at that; Trump isn’t on this list at all.”

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week 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!

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week 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.
