“If Maxwell ‘were to receive clemency, she would be willing — and eager — to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.,’” her attorneys wrote.
So far, lawmakers aren’t buying it. Comer’s office quickly poured cold water on the idea, stating flatly that the committee “will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”
This comes after the committee issued a subpoena last week demanding Maxwell provide a deposition from prison on August 11. Her attorneys immediately objected, calling the terms unacceptable.
“First, public reports—including your own statements—indicate that the Committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity,” her attorneys wrote, according to NBC News. “Those are non-starters.”
Maxwell’s lawyers say the environment is too politically toxic, and that appearing behind bars puts her in danger and could leak sensitive testimony.
“Any testimony she provides now could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool,” they argued.
They also demanded the committee deliver its questions in advance—another demand met with bipartisan rejection.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking Democrat on the committee, was crystal clear: “She is not going to set whatever terms that she wants.”
“We do not support giving her the questions ahead of time,” Garcia added.
Even Comer, not known for pulling punches, didn’t mince words. “I don’t think there are many Republicans who want to give immunity to someone who may have been sex trafficking children,” he said in an interview with CNN.
Maxwell’s team isn’t backing down, insisting she has “extensive documentation” to back up her claims and accused some lawmakers of having “prejudged” her without hearing her side.
“Compounding these concerns are public comments from members of Congress that appear to have prejudged Ms. Maxwell’s credibility without even listening to what she has to say or evaluating the extensive documentation that corroborates it,” her attorneys wrote.
They also requested that her testimony be postponed until after the Supreme Court rules on whether to hear her appeal—a decision not expected until October.
“Please let us know whether the Committee is amenable to these conditions,” the letter concluded. “If not, Ms. Maxwell will have no choice but to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.”
Meanwhile, reports are surfacing that Maxwell recently had private meetings with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that spanned over nine hours across two days. The timing of those discussions raises eyebrows—especially in light of a statement Blanche released shortly afterward.
“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,” Blanche said.
What that evidence may be, and how Maxwell may be connected to it, remains to be seen.
But one thing is certain: this case isn’t over—and the web around Epstein’s enablers may be far from untangled.
Maxwell is accessory to murder..She has Blood on her hands! She is just as guilty as Epstein and devious! Even though she might not own the plane…
“Maxwell Vanishes from FL Prison!” What clickbait!! Publicly relocating her to a prison in TX hardly constitutes “vanishing.” Have a little more respect for your audience.
