Epstein: Ghislaine Maxwell Testifies Behind Closed Doors Before Committee

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, is testifying today behind closed doors before a House of Representatives committee, but she is expected to invoke her right to silence. The hearing coincides with the release of a huge volume of Epstein case documents, involving various public figures. Most of the over three million pages of documents do not contain new evidence for possible prosecutions, but the revelations are causing turmoil. Many consider this hearing a “political spectacle,” as Maxwell is expected to decline to answer any questions, citing her right to silence. The committee chairman, James Comer, has announced questions regarding potential involvement of Donald Trump and others in illegal activities. Questions will also concern Epstein’s relationships with foreign governments and intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, former Trump lawyer, had visited Maxwell in prison and was subsequently transferred to a detention regime with more relaxed terms, which has sparked reactions.
