Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell refused on Monday to answer questions from a congressional panel but said she was prepared to speak if granted clemency by US President Donald Trump.
Maxwell, 64, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to discuss her relations with Epstein.
Rather than answer the committee’s questions, however, the former British socialite invoked her Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate herself.
“As expected, Ghislaine Maxwell took the Fifth and refused to answer any questions,” committee chairman James Comer told reporters. “This is obviously very disappointing.”
“We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed as well as questions about potential co-conspirators,” he said.
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, said she would be prepared to speak publicly if granted clemency by Trump.
