Ghislaine Maxwell the convicted sex trafficker and associate of Jeffrey Epstein says that she is willing to testify before Congress but only if certain conditions are met, including being granted immunity, according to a new letter sent to the House oversight committee by her lawyer on Tuesday.
The interest in this is not going away; there’s massive interest in it across the electorate, but especially among the Republican base.
Last week, the House committee on oversight and government subpoenaed Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, to testify via deposition next month at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is currently in custody.
But in a new letter on Tuesday addressed to James Comer, a Republican who chairs the House committee, Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, said that Maxwell was willing to testify but that testifying “from prison and without a grant of immunity” were “non-starters”.
