Maxwell offers to testify before Congress but with major conditions, including immunity

I looked but didn’t see this posted


Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress, but with major conditions, including immunity, according to a list of her demands sent to the House Oversight Committee by her attorneys.

House Oversight Chair James Comer subpoenaed Maxwell to testify next month. In a new letter sent to Comer Tuesday, Maxwell’s attorneys said they initially decided to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, but then offered to cooperate with Congress “if a fair and safe path forward can be established.”

Her attorneys noted Maxwell is currently appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court and argued that “any testimony she provides now could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool.”

“Compounding these concerns are public comments from members of Congress that appear to have prejudged Ms. Maxwell’s credibility without even listening to what she has to say or evaluating the extensive documentation that corroborates it,” the letter states.

filed to keep the court cases "sealed." They are what we should focus on. She lacks the moral capacity to tell the truth. I could puke when I hear people repeating her lawyer's bullshit about her "never having the opportunity to speak" on this. Give me a break: she hid out for three years, refusing to talk to investigators. She decided not to testify in her criminal trial. And most of all, she should have spoken up about Epstein, rather than serving as his pimp. She should be thankful that she is in a minimum security facilty, taking yoga classes, and wandering the grounds as she pleases.

She must feel pretty confident that she has some kind of leverage over Trump. Who knows what bullshitty tangent this will veer off to? The naked corruption is cinematic.

Maxwell may end up out of prison because of his carelessness, as her attorney suggests.

whitewash her involvement in the trafficking. Hate to say it, but TSF will likely commute her sentence. It will be his only way to bail himself out of a huge mess and she's the last person besides him who knows the truth. And that's only because nobody's been able to hear from the victims until recently.
