US EditionGhislaine Maxwell offers to testify before Congress but with major conditions, including immunity
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – Maxwell seeks to overturn her 2021 conviction citing Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution deal and demands immunity to testify before Congress while negotiating possible sentence relief.
- On Monday, Maxwell filed her reply brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, urging review of her conviction as four justices are required to grant it.
- Her attorneys argue a 2007 non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein should have shielded Maxwell from prosecution outside Florida, including New York.
- In a July 29 letter, Maxwell’s legal team said she would consider cooperating with the House Oversight Committee if granted immunity, advance questions, and outside prison deposition, but the committee has not agreed.
- The House Oversight Committee spokeswoman said it will not consider granting immunity, and defense attorney David Markus warned Maxwell would invoke her Fifth Amendment rights if conditions remain unmet.
- Maxwell told the justices her dispute warrants review to resolve a split among federal appeals courts, but the Supreme Court grants fewer than 100 of the thousands of petitions it receives.
