Ghislaine Maxwell will Plead Fifth in House Epstein Probe

Friday, November 21, 2025

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted co-conspirator of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, will refuse to answer questions in the House Oversight Committee's probe into Epstein and the Justice Department's handling of the case, Oversight Chair James Comer said.

Maxwell's legal team said she would invoke her Fifth Amendment rights if she sat with congressional investigators, the Kentucky Republican said in an interview. He also suggested it would be unlikely that his staff or lawmakers would sit down with Maxwell, who is in a federal prison camp in Texas, under the circumstances.

When I don't want to incriminate myself or my President, I also always Plead the 5th Amendment!

So much for her lying for Trump under Oath... well, unless they 'resolve her Appeal', which is what she's asked the House for.

Ghislaine Maxwell never saw Trump in any inappropriate setting', interview transcript shows (August 2025)

... In a post on X, Blanche said the materials were being released "in the interest of transparency", providing links to the transcript and to audio files.

The release includes documentation from a two-day interview conducted on 24 and 25 July. The materials comprise redacted transcripts for both days, along with multiple audio recordings " seven separate parts plus test recordings for day one, and four parts plus test recordings for day two.

The Department of Justice gave Maxwell limited immunity to allow her to talk about her criminal case, but did not promise anything in exchange for her testimony, according to the transcript that was released.

"The most important part of this agreement is that this isn't a cooperation agreement, meaning that by you meeting with us today, we're really just meeting," Blanche told Maxwell. He added: "I'm not promising to do anything." ...

From what I have heard, Ms Maxwell's attorney and Dep AG Blanche are friends.

So, if that is the case, what might have been worked or arranged before the recorders were turned on for this interview?

Rather, the address that appeared was for his private law firm in New York, the one he ran in his former guise as Donald J. Trump's defense lawyer.

The mix-up, while legally innocuous, nonetheless captured the unusual, Janus-faced position that Mr. Blanche now occupies as he assumes an increasingly central role in seeking to uncover more information about the Epstein scandal in an effort to douse the flames of outrage that are swirling about the case among the president's supporters.

This week, Mr. Blanche announced that he intends to personally meet with Ms. Maxwell's lawyer to see what, if any, additional light she can shed on Mr. Epstein who had a long and well-documented friendship with Mr. Trump. ...
