Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted associate serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a closed-door virtual deposition with the House Oversight Committee on 9 February 2026. Appearing via video from a low-security federal prison camp in Texas, she refused to answer questions about Epstein’s crimes and potential co-conspirators. Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) described the move as “very disappointing”, saying she had missed an opportunity to provide key information. Her attorney indicated that Maxwell is seeking clemency, potentially from President Trump, in exchange for testimony that would clear Trump and Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing linked to Epstein. Democrats said Maxwell appeared unrepentant and accused her of campaigning for a pardon. Family members of victims condemned her role in the abuse network. The investigation is ongoing, with depositions involving Clinton expected next.
