Ghislaine Maxwell has expressed her willingness to testify before Congress amid renewed public scrutiny following the release of the Epstein files. Currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking, Maxwell, 63, remains the only person imprisoned in connection to Jeffrey Epstein’s vast network of abuse. Epstein, who died in 2019 in a Manhattan jail, was accused of trafficking underage girls to powerful associates, including billionaires and politicians.
According to sources close to Maxwell, she has never been offered a plea deal and claims she would “welcome the chance” to share her knowledge with Congress. Convicted in 2022 for her role in procuring and grooming minors, Maxwell argues she should have been shielded from prosecution under a 2007 non-prosecution agreement granted to Epstein in a controversial plea deal that allowed him to serve minimal time behind bars.
The Department of Justice has stated there is no “Epstein client list,” despite years of speculation and mounting public pressure for transparency. Critics have voiced concerns about the integrity of surveillance footage related to Epstein’s 2019 death, pointing out that key moments appear to be missing and that the videos do not show the inside of his cell or who may have entered.
Frustration continues to grow among conservatives, with prominent figures like retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn demanding greater accountability. Flynn and others argue that the Epstein scandal remains unresolved and that failure to address lingering questions undermines trust in federal institutions. Attorney General Pam Bondi has faced backlash, and reports suggest internal disputes have emerged within the DOJ and FBI over transparency.
If called to testify, Maxwell’s appearance before Congress could reignite efforts to uncover the full extent of Epstein’s operation. Her testimony may offer rare and potentially explosive insight into how the financier’s sex trafficking network functioned—and who else may have been involved.
