Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee on Monday, but her lawyer said she would be prepared to testify that President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton “are innocent of any wrongdoing” if she were granted clemency.
Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison camp in Texas after being convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking for recruiting and grooming underage girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. She was subpoenaed to give evidence by video deposition as lawmakers intensify scrutiny over Epstein’s network and the recent release of millions of Justice Department documents.
