Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell seeks Trump clemency before testimony

Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell refused on Monday to answer questions from a congressional panel but said she was prepared to speak if granted clemency by US President Donald Trump.

Maxwell, 64, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to discuss her relations with Epstein.

Rather than answer the committee’s questions, however, the former British socialite invoked her Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate herself.

“We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein

committed as well as questions about potential co-conspirators,” he said.
