US EditionMaxwell to plead Fifth in House Epstein investigation: Comer
Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to testify before the House Oversight Committee, invoking her Fifth Amendment right amid demands for immunity and advance access to questions, said Chairman Comer.
- On Friday, the House Oversight Committee shelved plans to depose Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted Epstein co‑conspirator, after she said she would invoke the Fifth Amendment.
- Maxwell's legal team argued she would invoke the Fifth Amendment unless granted immunity from further criminal proceedings and received the advance provision of committee questions.
- Earlier this year, Maxwell sat for a two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed her, planning to travel to Texas for an interview.
- Chairman James Comer said the panel will not accept Maxwell's conditions and is rethinking plans, arguing it wastes taxpayer money if she pleads the Fifth, a spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.
- Now held in Texas, Maxwell is reportedly preparing a commutation application to President Trump amid allegations of favorable treatment, while the Supreme Court rejected her request earlier this year and the White House declined to comment.
