Ghislaine Maxwell demands immunity, advance copies of questions ahead of testimony

07/30/2025 / By Ramon Tomey

Ghislaine Maxwell has proposed strict conditions – including full immunity and advance access to questions – prior to testifying before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Her attorney insists these measures are necessary to ensure her legal safety and prevent “surprise questioning.”
Maxwell seeks to delay her testimony until the Supreme Court rules on her appeal, arguing she was unfairly prosecuted despite a 2007 non-prosecution agreement tied to Epstein’s estate. Her team claims she became a “scapegoat” after Epstein’s death.
If Maxwell testifies with immunity, her disclosures could expose explosive details about Epstein’s network, potentially implicating high-profile figures linked to his trafficking ring. However, Congress has refused to grant her immunity.
Maxwell’s legal team suggested she might cooperate unconditionally if granted clemency. This raises speculation, as President Trump previously left open the possibility of pardoning her.
As the sole surviving major Epstein collaborator, Maxwell’s testimony is pivotal. The DOJ has shown renewed interest, but her evasion tactics and Congress’ push for transparency keep the case under intense public and political scrutiny.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has proposed stringent conditions – including full immunity and advance access to questions – before she will testify before Congress about the crimes of her close associate, the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced socialite, currently serving a 20-year sentence in a Florida prison, signaled her willingness to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee (HOC) through a letter obtained by the Washington Post. The letter penned by her attorney David Oscar Markus outlined her terms, noting that she will testify only if her legal safety is guaranteed.

Moreover, Markus also wrote that his client wants copies of the questions to be asked by the HOC in advance. According to him, Maxwell being aware of the committee’s questions is important as the process cannot become a game of cat-and-mouse” and that “surprise questioning would be both inappropriate and unproductive.” (Related: Ghislaine Maxwell – Epstein’s accomplice – makes a desperate plea from prison.)

Markus’ letter served as a response to a subpoena by the HOC ordering her to testify on Aug. 11. While initially hesitant, Maxwell now seeks to delay testimony until the Supreme Court rules on her appeal – which Markus’ letter also mentions.

Nevertheless, this move from Maxwell’s counsel raises a serious question. Will the truth behind Epstein’s international trafficking ring finally be exposed, or will Maxwell’s demands derail the pursuit of justice?

Maxwell’s immunity gamble: Will she expose Epstein’s secrets?

Her lawyers argue that she was unfairly prosecuted despite a 2007 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein’s estate. They also contend that the government reneged on its 2007 pledge, making her a “convenient scapegoat” after Epstein’s death.

The financier and convicted sex offender died in August 2019 while in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Six years after his death, many are questioning the official report that he allegedly took his own life.

But federal prosecutors maintain that Epstein’s immunity deal applied only to Florida, leaving Maxwell vulnerable to charges in the Empire State. The stakes could not be higher; should Maxwell testify, especially with immunity, her disclosures could unearth explosive details about Epstein’s network.

Maxwell’s testimony could also potentially implicate high-profile figures named in the lawsuit of the late Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims who took her own life in April. Yet Congress remains firm about holding the disgraced socialite accountable, with a spokesperson for the HOC saying that the committee “will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Meanwhile, Maxwell’s legal maneuvering suggests a calculated bid for leverage. Her attorneys notably hinted that she would cooperate unconditionally if granted clemency, a possibility given President Donald Trump’s refusal to rule out pardoning her.

Historical context underscores the urgency of this moment. With Maxwell now positioned as the sole surviving major Epstein collaborator, her testimony could fill critical gaps. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche’s recent prison interview with Maxwell hints at a renewed interest from the Department of Justice, yet details remain shrouded.

Maxwell’s defiance aligns with her pattern of evasion while lawmakers face pressure to compel transparency. Nevertheless, one thing is clear: The world is watching.
