Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has agreed to testify under oath before the congressional committee investigating the federal government’s handling of the Epstein files.
Committee chairman James Comer, who is leading the investigation, says Maxwell will depose virtually on 9 February.
Maxwell’s legal team has previously said she would decline to answer questions under her constitutional right to remain silent unless she is granted legal immunity.
Comer, previewing the deposition, said, “her lawyers have been saying she is going to plead the Fifth,” referring to the US Fifth Amendment right to decline to speak to authorities.
She’ll probably get more perks just like the last time the DOJ met with her.
Previously they met and after she released a statement saying that Donald Trump wasn’t a client of Epstein’s. Shortly after, she was transferred to a “club fed” prison where she gets to roam freely, have yoga classes, etc. They’re likely going to do something similar again.
Perhaps she will answer questions about Democrats and plead the 5th the rest of the time. Perhaps they’ll even give her immunity for her “brave” testimony about how Bill and Hilary Clinton were the real ring leaders. I doubt any part of the process will be good for the country.
