Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving 20 years for sex trafficking thanks to the Epstein saga, is playing hardball with Congress. She'll sit for a deposition only if granted congressional immunity—because apparently jailhouse chic meets legal safe space. Her attorneys warned she'll invoke the 'fifth amendment,' adding that if she 'were to receive clemency, she would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly, in public.' Translation: tell me not to snitch, or I’m zip-lipped. Meanwhile, the House isn’t budging on immunity, so yes, this is a legal soap opera where everyone’s on mute until the Supreme Court drama finale.
