因参与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的性交易网络而被判处20年监禁的吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦已同意在美国国会委员会作证，但她表示作证时必须宣誓，且不享有法律豁免权。她的律师团队此前曾以安全风险和潜在的刑事责任为由，拒绝让她在不享有豁免权的情况下作证。该委员会正面临压力，需要获取有关联邦政府如何处理爱泼斯坦案件的新信息。此外，前总统比尔·克林顿和希拉里·克林顿也未出席质询，这可能使他们面临藐视法庭的指控。 Ghislaine Maxwell, a key associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has agreed to testify under oath before a US congressional committee investigating the Epstein case. However, her legal team has said she will likely invoke her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, especially without legal immunity. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein's sex crimes. The House Oversight Committee, criticizing the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case, is also considering contempt charges against former presidents Bill and Hillary Clinton for refusing to testify.
