A deposition was scheduled for Aug. 11 at a federal prison in Tallahassee, where Maxwell is serving her sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, in a letter Tuesday addressed to House Oversight chairman Rep. James Comer, Maxwell&#8217;s attorney David Markus said she is willing to sit before the committee but only after certain legal appeals are finalized or his client is granted clemency or a pardon by President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Public reports \u2014 including your own statements \u2014 indicate that the Committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity.

Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 as he faced sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Markus wrote that because Maxwell&#8217;s ongoing appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction and other legal issues are currently pending, &#8220;any testimony she provides now could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Markus wrote, if President Trump were to pardon Maxwell or commute her sentence, &#8220;she would be willing\u2014and eager\u2014to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If those conditions are not agreed to, Markus wrote, Maxwell &#8220;will have no choice but to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said in a statement that the committee will respond to Markus&#8217; letter &#8220;soon,&#8221; but said it &#8220;will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025.07.23-Subpoena-Cover-Letter-to-Maxwell-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">letter to Maxwell <\/a>informing her of the subpoena, Comer wrote that the committee is seeking Maxwell&#8217;s testimony &#8220;to inform the consideration of potential legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and\/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/ghislaine-maxwell-verdict-2021-12-29\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">convicted in 2021<\/a> for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom and abuse underage girls.
