Ghislaine Maxwell’s list of demands to testify to Congress
July 30, 2025 | Kevin Haggerty
Ghislaine Maxwell’s conditional intention to provide congressional testimony was spelled out by her attorney in a letter detailing what would keep her from invoking the Fifth Amendment.
In pursuit of transparency regarding the case of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department wasn’t alone in aiming to turn the dead financier’s former associate into an asset for answers. While Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had already met with Maxwell, efforts to arrange testimony before Congress found her attorney listing what it would take and calling out “non-starters.”
Submitted to the chair of the House Oversight Committee, Kentucky Rep. James Comer (R), the convicted sex trafficker’s attorney David Oscar Markus responded to the subpoena by reiterating his client’s efforts at appealing her conviction and how, “… our initial reaction was that Ms. Maxwell would invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and decline to testify at this time.”
“However, after further reflection we would like to find a way to cooperate with Congress if a fair and safe path forward can be established,” he went on before making a case to conduct the testimony away from prison, be provided questions in advance and to delay the hearing until after a Supreme Court ruling on her appeal of her conviction.
