Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, plans to refuse to answer questions during a deposition scheduled for Monday before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, as outlined in a letter from U.S. Representative Ro Khanna on Sunday.
Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for assisting Epstein in sexually abusing teenage girls and is currently serving a 20-year sentence, intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to decline answering all substantive questions, according to Khanna’s correspondence to Committee Chair James Comer.
Maxwell’s lawyer did not immediately comment on the matter on Sunday.
Rather than answering individual questions, Maxwell intends to deliver a prepared statement at the start of her deposition, Khanna, a California Democrat on the committee, said without revealing the source of this information.
“This stance seems inconsistent with Maxwell’s previous behavior, as she did not invoke her Fifth Amendment rights during a prior meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss similar topics,” Khanna stated in his letter seeking clarification about her upcoming testimony.
Her deposition occurs amidst the U.S. Department of Justice releasing millions of internal documents related to Epstein.
