Maxwell, Epstein's ex-girlfriend said she would speak before Congress
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has signaled that she would be willing to testify before Congress regarding the part she played in facilitating sex trafficking of underage girls.
Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for child sex trafficking charges and is currently serving 20 years in prison. She is the only person to be convicted of charges related to Epstein's sex trafficking scheme involving 1,000 victims. Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell in 2019, faced accusations of flying underage girls to his private island, Little Saint James, and forcing them to engage in sexual acts with Epstein's friends and business associates.
"Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal," a source close to Maxwell told the Daily Mail. "She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story."
Maxwell's willingness to testify before Congress comes as the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation released a memo last week which stated there was no evidence that Epstein possessed a client list or had "blackmailed prominent individuals" who engaged in illegal sex acts with minors.
"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," the memo stated.
The joint memo has garnered sharp backlash from President Donald Trump's strongest supporters, some of which, such as conservative media personality Megyn Kelly, have blamed Attorney General Pam Bondi for botching the investigation. "She is the reason that things are unravelling around this story right now, that virtually all the Republican Party cares about. It's also true that [FBI Deputy Director] Dan Bongino and [FBI Director] Kash Patel had questions about Epstein before they took office before they went to the FBI," Kelly said.
On Saturday, Trump took to his social media platform TruthSocial to defend Bondi and ward off criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.
"What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?' They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump wrote. "We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein, over and over again."
Meanwhile, Maxwell has appealed her charges to the Supreme Court, arguing that she should have been exempt from facing prosecution based on a Non Prosecution Agreement made by Epstein in 2008 when he pleaded guilty to two minor charges of prostitution.
"Despite the existence of a non-prosecution agreement promising in plain language that the United States would not prosecute any co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein, the United States in fact prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell as a co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein," a filing by Maxwell's team stated. "Only because the United States did so in the Second Circuit and not elsewhere, her motion to dismiss the indictment was denied, her trial proceeded, and she is now serving a 20-year sentence."
The Trump administration must respond to Maxwell's appeal on July 14, after making two requests for extensions.
Maxwell's source shared that Maxwell could provide greater insight into the dealings of Epstein which the Epstein Files fail to reflect
