Ghislaine Maxwell faced intensive questioning about Prince Andrew during a nine-hour interrogation led by the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Vibeszone on Sunday has learned.
The 63-year-old convicted sex trafficker, who was once a close confidante of the Duke of York, is said to have cooperated fully during the high-level meeting, providing candid responses not only about Andrew but also about more than 100 individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein—her former employer and romantic partner.
While specific details of her comments about Prince Andrew remain undisclosed, this marks the first time Maxwell has been officially questioned about him. A source said: “She didn’t shy away from anything. She told the truth. This was the first time she was asked about the men involved, including Andrew.”
Prince Andrew has consistently denied allegations by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked to him by Epstein at age 17. He settled a civil case with Giuffre for a multi-million-pound sum without admitting guilt. Giuffre tragically died by suicide earlier this year.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, for her role in procuring underage girls for Epstein’s abuse.
The interrogation, which spanned two days, was ordered by Donald Trump amid mounting pressure and controversy over his failure to release the full Epstein files, despite earlier promises to do so.
Key Developments Revealed:
- Presidential Pardon Hopes: Maxwell is reportedly seeking a pardon. Trump, currently in Scotland, has acknowledged he can pardon her, though says he hasn’t decided yet.
- Elon Musk Named in Files: Tech billionaire Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal are among those identified in the Epstein documents. Musk had earlier accused Trump of suppressing the files to protect himself.
- Limited Immunity Deal: Maxwell has been granted conditional immunity for her cooperation, which included naming powerful figures such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and major Wall Street players.
- Security Concerns: Maxwell may be moved to another facility due to growing threats to her safety. Sources say threats have increased sharply since news of the interrogation emerged.
- Possible Sentence Reduction: Trump’s legal team is expected to meet with the former President after his return to discuss a potential deal that could reduce Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for further cooperation.
According to insiders, the interrogation covered a wide array of influential figures from politics, finance, royalty, Silicon Valley, and entertainment. Names allegedly brought up include Clinton, Gates, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, billionaire Les Wexner, and others.
“It was a landmark moment,” said a source. “Ghislaine was finally asked about everything, and she gave direct, emotional answers. She’s taking a major risk—her immunity depends on complete honesty.”
Maxwell is also preparing a final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and is scheduled to testify before a congressional committee on August 11. If no deal is reached by then, she may invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination.
A source close to Maxwell confirmed her legal team is “exploring all options” and that she feels “relieved” to finally have her voice heard. “She’s been silent for years and is now telling her story. Whether this leads to justice or a deal—only time will tell.”
Maxwell’s prison has heightened security measures following reports of death threats against her and others involved in the case. Officials fear a repeat of Epstein’s 2019 death, widely speculated to be a cover-up rather than suicide.
The interrogation took place inside a secure conference room at the Tallahassee Federal Courthouse, with attorneys from both sides, FBI agents, and an armed U.S. Marshal present due to heightened threats.
Maxwell was later seen returning to prison with a cardboard box reportedly containing legal documents, part of the five million pages linked to the sprawling case.
