Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, has received limited immunity from the U.S. Department of Justice after two days of interviews last week with senior officials, according to multiple news reports. The agreement prevents prosecutors from using her statements in new criminal proceedings as the government continues probing Epstein’s network. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and has a petition pending before the U.S. Supreme Court that seeks to overturn her 2021 conviction. In a 29 July letter to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, her lawyers said she would testify about Epstein only if lawmakers grant her full immunity, allow questioning outside the Florida prison where she is held, provide questions in advance and schedule any session after her appeal is resolved. Alternatively, they wrote, she would appear promptly if President Donald Trump grants clemency. Comer subpoenaed Maxwell for a 11 August deposition, but a committee spokeswoman said the panel will not consider immunity for her testimony. Should the standoff persist, Maxwell’s attorneys indicated she will invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, leaving both Congress and the Justice Department to decide whether additional concessions—or enforcement actions—are warranted.
