In July 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, sat for a two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The transcripts, released by the Department of Justice in August, reveal Maxwell’s attempts to downplay her role in Epstein’s sex-trafficking network, deny knowledge of underage abuse, and clear high-profile associates, including President Donald Trump.
Renowned clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. G (known for body language and deception analysis) meticulously dissected the interview in a widely viewed video breakdown. Drawing on transcripts, audio clips, and supporting evidence from Maxwell’s trial, Dr. G highlights how Maxwell employs sophisticated psychological tactics to evade accountability—deceptions that often slip past casual observers.
One key indicator is Maxwell’s frequent use of qualified language and deflection. When asked about Epstein’s abuse of minors, she admits he “did a lot of, not all, but some of what he’s accused of,” but insists it evolved over time and she was unaware during their relationship. Dr. G points out this as classic minimization: acknowledging just enough to appear credible while shifting blame to Epstein’s “later” behavior. Her repeated claims of memory lapses—”I don’t recollect” or “as far as I remember”—serve as subtle evasions, avoiding direct denials that could be easily refuted.
Body language cues, visible in available clips, further betray her. Dr. G notes inconsistencies in tone: calm and cooperative when praising figures like Trump (whom she calls “a gentleman in all respects”), but evasive on personal involvement. Maxwell vehemently denies recruiting from Mar-a-Lago or witnessing inappropriate acts, yet trial evidence contradicts her on recruitment patterns.
Dr. G also exposes reframing tactics. Maxwell portrays herself as a victim of Epstein’s lies, claiming discoveries post-arrest shattered her trust. This narrative deflects from her convicted role in grooming and trafficking minors.
Critics question the interview’s timing, noting Maxwell’s subsequent transfer to a minimum-security facility—raising suspicions of incentives. Dr. G’s analysis underscores why experts view her statements skeptically: subtle lies, rooted in self-preservation, mask deeper complicity.
This forensic deep dive reminds us that skilled manipulators like Maxwell can weave plausible deniability, but trained eyes spot the cracks. As Epstein’s web continues to unravel, such expert scrutiny ensures truth prevails over deception.
