Ghislaine Maxwell seeks immunity in exchange for congressional testimony

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, has agreed to a congressional deposition under specific conditions. Her attorneys outlined these demands in a letter, which include receiving questions in advance and delaying the deposition until her Supreme Court appeal is decided. Maxwell stated she would otherwise invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Furthermore, she indicated a willingness to testify openly if granted clemency. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Maxwell last week to provide testimony. A spokesperson for the committee stated they would respond soon but will not grant congressional immunity. Maxwell is considered a crucial potential source of information regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Trump administration is under pressure to release more information about Epstein's activities. Maxwell is actively seeking to overturn her conviction. This situation highlights her central role in the ongoing Epstein case investigations.
