Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals For Clemency From Trump

The House Oversight Committee wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call Monday.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, has appealed for clemency from President Trump.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years for conspiring with Epstein to abuse minors. She has declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition. However, she indicated that if the president ended her prison sentence, she would be willing to testify that Trump nor Bill Clinton did anything wrong in connection to Epstein.

The House Oversight Committee wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call Monday. She invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to avoid answering questions that would be self-incriminating. Lawmakers on the committee accuse Maxwell of attempting to buy her clemency by refusing to testify.
