"Ms. Maxwell, were you a close friend and confidant of Jeffrey Epstein? asked a lawyer for the GOP-led committee. I would like to answer your question, but on the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question and any related questions. My habeas petition is pending in the Southern District of New York. I therefore invoke my right to silence under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution."
"Maxwell made headlines on Monday when her lawyer offered to help exonerate President Donald Trump in exchange for a pardon. Today, Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth during her deposition. I'm releasing the full video and audio so the American people can see it for themselves. We will not stop pursuing the truth and justice for Epstein survivors. WATCH: https://t.co/PJRdUv4mMR Rep. James Comer (@RepJamesComer) February 9, 2026"
