Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell refused to testify during her subpoena in the US Congress. Maxwell repeatedly referred to not wanting to incriminate himself. The interrogation ended after about an hour. This is reported by the US media CNN and Fox News, among others.
Maxwell was connected virtually from her prison in Texas. Her lawyer David Oscar Markus said at the beginning of the hearing that Maxwell would not testify. However, she is ready to speak – if US President Donald Trump officially pardons her.
More information coming soon.
