Скачать или смотреть Ghislaine Maxwell declines to answer questions from lawmakers, appeals for clemency from Trump

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition on Monday (Feb 9), but indicated that if President Donald Trump ended her prison sentence, she was willing to testify that neither he nor former President Bill Clinton had done anything wrong in their connections with Epstein.

The House Oversight Committee had wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call to the federal prison camp in Texas where she’s serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, but she invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to avoid answering questions that would be self-incriminating.

Maxwell has come under new scrutiny as lawmakers try to investigate how Epstein, a well-connected financier, was able to sexually abuse underage girls for years. https://cna.asia/3ZLXEt7
