Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to answer questions in congressional deposition

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring, appeared for a deposition before the U.S. House Oversight Committee. She invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and declined to answer the committee's questions.

Some reports indicate Maxwell has offered to provide testimony that could exonerate President Donald Trump in exchange for immunity, though this was not part of the official congressional proceeding. The committee is investigating the handling of the Epstein case.
