Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to tell all about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and his rich and powerful pals — but the imprisoned socialite’s legal team says she’ll plead the Fifth Amendment and refuse to testify in response to a congressional subpoena if she’s not granted immunity, per New York Post.

In late July, Maxwell, 63, received an order to sit for a deposition for the House Oversight Committee shortly after being grilled for nine hours over two days by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

These developments come as the DOJ and FBI are taking heat from critics for claiming that Epstein kept no client list of associates who allegedly abused females he supplied — and for insisting that his 2019 hanging in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial for sex trafficking was suicide.

As the National Enquirer reported, Maxwell — who was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and conspiracy related to her dead boss Epstein’s abuse of underage girls — is seeking to have the Supreme Court hear her criminal appeal. Her attorneys are pursuing the effects of a 2008 non-prosecution agreement negotiated by Epstein’s lawyers that was linked to his prostitution solicitation plea deal.

Maxwell’s brother Ian also exclusively told the Enquirer’s readers he believes that his sister’s trial was fixed, as lawmen wanted someone to take the fall after Epstein died in custody.

According to The Hill, Maxwell’s defense lawyer David Oscar Markus informed the committee that her statements could “prejudice her legal claims,” which is why he was seeking immunity for his client.

However, the outlet also reports that the bid was promptly shot down.

Politico states that Maxwell’s attorneys have previously shared: “We remain open to working with the Committee to find a path forward that respects her constitutional rights and enables her to assist the American people.”
