"It is well documented that you, President Donald Trump, and Mr. Epstein had a social relationship, and there are several photographs of you together. Did you or Mr. Epstein ever arrange, facilitate, or provide access to underage girls to President Trump? After President Trump publicly stated that he would look at a possible pardon for you, did you or anyone acting on your behalf have any discussions with him or his representatives about a pardon or reduced sentence in exchange for your silence?"
"It is my understanding that Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and decline to answer all substantive questions at her upcoming deposition before the House Oversight Committee. This position appears inconsistent with Ms. Maxwell's prior conduct, as she did not invoke the Fifth Amendment when she previously met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss substantially similar subject matter."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer scheduled a deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell for Monday. Maxwell's attorney indicated she intends to invoke the Fifth Amendment and decline to answer substantive questions. Ranking Member Ro Khanna wrote a letter listing the questions he plans to ask and noted Maxwell previously answered similar questions when meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Khanna intends to ask whether Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein arranged access to underage girls for President Donald Trump and whether anyone discussed a pardon or reduced sentence in exchange for Maxwell's silence. Khanna objects to a blanket early invocation of the privilege by a prepared statement and refusal of individual questioning.
