Ghislaine Maxwell has told Congress she will only testify about Jeffrey Epstein if she is granted immunity and other conditions are met, according to a Tuesday letter from her legal team.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is appealing her conviction as pressure mounts on the Trump administration to release more information about Epstein’s network. Maxwell is seen as a central figure in the alleged elite sex trafficking ring tied to Epstein.
The House Oversight Committee, which recently subpoenaed Maxwell, said it will respond to the letter but will not consider granting congressional immunity.
Maxwell’s lawyers demanded advance access to all questions, a delay until her Supreme Court appeal is resolved, or alternatively, clemency in exchange for public testimony.
“Ms. Maxwell would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.,” the letter stated, but only if she receives clemency.
The letter came days after Maxwell met with a senior Justice Department official re-examining the Epstein case.
