"The convicted Jeffrey Epstein associate invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence during a House Oversight Committee deposition, appearing virtually from a Texas prison. In a statement delivered to lawmakers and later posted online, Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, insisted that Maxwell would very much like to answer questions but would not do so until granted her one condition of clemency. Markus argued Maxwell's conviction is under legal challenge, citing a pending habeas petition and alleging juror misconduct and broken promises by prosecutors."
"If this Committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path. Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump. He added: Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation."
Ghislaine Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence during a House Oversight Committee deposition, appearing virtually from a Texas prison. Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said she would like to answer questions but will do so only if granted clemency by President Trump. Markus asserted that only Maxwell can provide a complete account and claimed both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of wrongdoing. Markus also argued that Maxwell's conviction is under legal challenge, citing a pending habeas petition, alleging juror misconduct and broken promises by prosecutors, and citing newly disclosed documents. Committee chair James Comer opposed granting clemency and said Maxwell had an opportunity to answer questions.
