Maxwell Ties Testimony to Immunity, Clemency Conditions

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted as Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator and serving a 20-year sentence, has offered to testify before Congress about Epstein's activities but only if granted formal immunity, advance access to questions, and a delay until her Supreme Court appeal concludes. Her lawyers argue that testifying without these protections could jeopardize her legal rights and safety, and have criticized some congressional members for prejudging her credibility. The House Oversight Committee has refused her immunity request and stated it will not alter its stance. Maxwell has directly indicated she would testify openly if granted clemency, even appealing to President Trump for a pardon. If her conditions are not met, she plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights. These discussions occur as Congress continues to investigate Epstein's associates and the broader network.
