Ghislaine Maxwell Seeks Clemency Before Answering Epstein Questions

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving 20 years for sex trafficking, invoked her Fifth Amendment right during a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee, refusing to answer questions unless granted clemency. Her lawyer indicated she would cooperate if pardoned by President Trump, which has drawn criticism from Democrats. Lawmakers are pressing for justice for Epstein survivors, with Congress set to access un-redacted Epstein files to continue the investigation despite Maxwell’s non-cooperation. The Department of Justice’s document release is expected to take years, potentially delaying full transparency.
