• Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to testify before Congress about the Epstein scandal—but only if granted immunity, her lawyers say. Lawmakers have flatly rejected the condition, as public pressure mounts over federal secrecy surrounding the Epstein investigation.

MIAMI, FL (TDR) — Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has indicated her willingness to testify before Congress—but only if lawmakers grant her immunity from future prosecution, according to a letter sent by her attorneys Tuesday to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

The demand was swiftly rebuffed.

Maxwell Sets Terms for Testimony

Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence at a Florida federal prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, was subpoenaed last week by Comer to appear before the House Oversight Committee. The subpoena followed the Justice Department’s controversial announcement in July that it would withhold further records related to Epstein’s investigation—prompting backlash from lawmakers and the public.

Maxwell’s legal team, however, made it clear that cooperation would not come unconditionally.

“Her instinct was to invoke her Fifth Amendment right,” her attorneys wrote in a letter reviewed by multiple outlets. “But she is open to testifying, provided Congress agrees to immunity, receives written questions in advance, and delays any appearance until her petition to the U.S. Supreme Court is resolved.”

The letter also requested that the committee delay any deposition until the high court determines whether it will take up her appeal, in which she argues that her trial was unfair.

Oversight Committee Rejects Immunity

The House Oversight Committee responded swiftly—and tersely.

“The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon,” a spokesperson told media, “but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

The standoff reflects a broader political shift. Since President Trump’s return to office, the administration has called for greater transparency around the Epstein saga. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche recently conducted a two-day interview with Maxwell at a Florida courthouse, signaling growing executive interest in uncovering deeper details.

Maxwell’s team, however, appears to be wagering that immunity or a potential pardon might be leveraged in exchange for fuller cooperation.

“She welcomes the opportunity to share the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements that have plagued this case from the beginning,” a spokesman for Maxwell said.

A Pardon Possibility?

President Trump has not ruled out the possibility of a pardon. Speaking to reporters earlier this month, he remarked that “it’s within my authority, though I’ve not been asked to do so.”

Maxwell’s attorneys believe a pardon would enable her to “testify openly and honestly, in public,” though such a political move would no doubt carry significant controversy.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is expected to consider Maxwell’s petition later this year, as legal and legislative efforts to unravel the full extent of Epstein’s network continue.

Will Congress seize this moment for truth — or allow Epstein’s secrets to remain buried in sealed files and unanswered questions?
