Ghislaine Maxwell Refuses to Cooperate in Epstein Probe, Fuels Speculation
Following a subpoena from the committee in July, Ghislaine Maxwell has indicated through her lawyers that she will invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer questions. Committee Chairman Comer stated that this decision makes a costly in-person appearance by the committee an unwise use of taxpayer resources. Maxwell had previously expressed a willingness to cooperate under specific conditions, including immunity, which were rejected. Before the committee’s subpoena, Maxwell spoke to the Justice Department, stating she had never seen Donald Trump at Epstein’s house.
