Ghislaine Maxwell, the notorious associate of Jeffrey Epstein, refused to answer any questions during her deposition before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. According to Reuters, Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle confirmed that Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, declining to provide any information that could potentially be used against her.
Maxwell is currently serving a twenty-year sentence following her 2021 conviction for helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. Her legal team recently filed a petition to challenge her sentence, so it makes sense they are being incredibly cautious. Her relationship with Epstein and her role in his life and criminal activities have made her very controversial, with the House Speaker once questioning if she was even credible.
