Congress Plans Ghislaine Maxwell Testimony on Epstein Abuse

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and conspiracy related to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of underage girls, is poised to be subpoenaed by the U.S. Congress for testimony. This move comes amid intensified pressure on President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice to release information about Epstein's criminal activities, which have been clouded by conspiracy theories previously promoted by the president. Maxwell has maintained her innocence, but her case remains in the spotlight, especially after a judge denied the Trump administration's request to unseal grand jury transcripts from Epstein's investigations. Maxwell's testimony would place her among a notable group of convicted criminals, including mobsters and white-collar offenders, who have reshaped political narratives through congressional appearances. Her imprisonment conditions at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee have been reported as dire, contrasting sharply with her previously luxurious lifestyle. The Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case, including statements denying a client list and foul play in Epstein's death, has caused divisions within the MAGA coalition and added complexity to the ongoing investigations.
