Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to cooperate with House Oversight unless Trump grants her clemency

Ghislaine Maxwell appeared before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Monday, where she was poised to face questions about documents pertaining to the investigation into her activities with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell has been convicted of being an accomplice and was willing to speak in great detail to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. But when it came time to testify before the House behind closed doors, she refused to give information.

Maxwell's attorney said she would answer questions openly if President Donald Trump granted clemency. She has been asking for a new trial, but it's unclear if that is possible. The attorney also mentioned that neither President Donald Trump nor President Bill Clinton is "culpable" in any wrongdoing.

Oversight chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has been criticized by former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton after he subpoenaed them. The Clintons have requested that the full hearing be public.

Comer claimed a "standard deposition" is behind closed doors. He argued that he would release everything immediately, so it doesn't need to be public, but that raised the question of why it must be kept behind closed doors if it's going to be released.

Hillary Clinton previously attacked Comer on X, asking why he was refusing to hold the hearings in public. She told him if he wants the first, then "bring it on" in public.
