Ghislaine Maxwell Refuses to Answer Questions About Epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, invoked her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during a closed-door congressional hearing on Monday, refusing to answer questions from the US House Oversight Committee. The committee, led by Republican Chairman James Comer, had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co-conspirators. Maxwell's decision to plead the Fifth Amendment has been met with disappointment and frustration from lawmakers and Epstein survivors.
