PREVIEW

Ghislaine Maxwell to Stay Silent at Key House Deposition. Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, plans to refuse to answer questions at a House Oversight Committee deposition scheduled for Monday. According to a letter from Congressman Ro Khanna, Maxwell intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and decline to respond to all substantive questions. She is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2021 for helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. Instead of testifying, Maxwell is expected to read a prepared statement at the start of the deposition. Her lawyer has not commented on the plan. Khanna noted this stance appears inconsistent with Maxwell's earlier cooperation, when she did not invoke the Fifth Amendment during a prior meeting with senior Justice Department officials. The deposition comes as the Justice Department releases millions of internal documents related to Epstein, renewing scrutiny of the case.
