A source close to the legal proceedings has indicated that Ghislaine Maxwell, the sole individual currently imprisoned in connection with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, is prepared to offer testimony before a congressional committee regarding the extensive records tied to the case.
Maxwell, convicted for her role in conspiring with Epstein to sexually exploit minors, has reportedly not been approached by federal authorities to share her account. According to the insider, she would “welcome the chance” to address lawmakers and the public directly, asserting that “no one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows.”
The push for congressional scrutiny comes amid ongoing public and legal disputes over the so-called “Epstein files.” These documents have been a focal point of controversy, particularly following conflicting statements from officials about the existence of a client list. The source compared the potential significance of such a hearing to other major congressional investigations in American history.
In a separate legal effort, Maxwell is pursuing an appeal based on a 2007 non-prosecution agreement involving Epstein, arguing it should have extended legal protection to her.
Addressing speculation about the contents of the files, the same source clarified that former President Donald Trump’s inclusion has been overstated. While acknowledging past social and business connections between Trump and Epstein, the insider stated there are “no big shocks” regarding Trump in the documents, attributing their severed ties to a business dispute and Epstein’s conduct. The source suggested the broader inquiry would inevitably “come down to following the money,” implicating other influential figures.
The discussion around Maxwell coincides with revelations from a presidential biographer that a pardon for her was briefly considered during the previous administration but was ultimately dismissed due to internal advisement. Current officials have since firmly denied any past or future consideration of clemency in this case.
