Democratic representative says Epstein associate’s decision to invoke fifth amendment points to ‘White House cover-up’
Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions during a closed-door congressional deposition on Monday, prompting criticism from a House representative backing efforts to release Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.
Robert Garcia, ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said in a statement that Maxwell invoked the fifth amendment and refused to testify during her scheduled deposition. Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, also said that she invoked her fifth amendment right.
“After months of defying our subpoena, Ghislaine Maxwell finally appeared before the oversight committee and said nothing,” said Garcia, a California Democrat. “She answered no questions and provided no information about the men who raped and trafficked women and girls.
“Who is she protecting? And we need to know why she’s been given special treatment at a low security prison by the Trump administration. We are going to end this White House cover-up.”
She’s protecting herself. Duh.
By not talking she’s far less likely to run afoul of somebody with the means to suicide her via two gunshots to the back of the head.
Yeah. She’s worried she might commit suicide by accident if she talks too much.
Daughter of the most famous Israeli spy ever.
I mean someone already can. His name is Donald Trump.
She must have a dead man’s switch somewhere.
“The police said her death was an accident. She had fallen down an elevator shaft… onto some bullets.”
