'She is a liar': CNN legal experts not buying Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony

Convicted Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking associate Ghislaine Maxwell cannot be trusted in the testimony just released by the Justice Department, warned two of CNN's top legal experts, former Palm Beach County prosecutor Dave Aronberg and never-Trump conservative attorney George Conway.

"Your reaction to this news that they've released this transcript, the conversation between [Deputy Attorney General Todd] Blanche and Maxwell?" anchor Boris Sanchez asked Aronberg.

"Not surprised, because the whole purpose of that meeting was to help Donald Trump," said Aronberg. "It was a self-serving interview by the #2 person at the DOJ to exonerate Donald Trump. And it's in her interest, Ghislaine Maxwell, to do so because she wants a pardon ... she is playing ball and it looks like the administration likes what she had to say, because I can't imagine if she said something negative about Trump that they would gladly release it to the public."

The problem, he continued, is that "she is a liar."

"She was actually prosecuted by the Trump administration in 2020 for perjury. Then the charges were dropped. She lied during her deposition in 2016, in a civil suit by [Epstein victim] Virginia Giuffre, saying that she had never seen Jeffrey Epstein act untoward towards young individuals. I mean, she has never taken responsibility for anything, so we should take her testimony now with a grain of salt."

"Yeah," said anchor Brianna Keilar. "And some of these young women talk about how she actually actively participated in their abuse. We should just be clear about that. She was instrumental in this scheme. George, how are you seeing this?"

Conway concurred with Aronberg.

"I don't think they'd be releasing this if they thought it was in some way harmful to Donald Trump," he said. "I think she had every reason to downplay any involvement that Donald Trump had in anything she was involved with. And I do think ... the real question is, what's in the documents that they haven't produced?"

"I'm suspicious for much the same reason that we're not seeing going to see all the documents," Conway added. "I mean ... they had FBI agents reviewing these documents for weeks on end. There's a massive trove of these documents. And, you know, one of the things that happens in litigation and investigations is you don't actually know what you're not getting unless you are asking lots of questions in an adversarial fashion. And as we know, this committee is not going to be adversarial to the president of the United States."
