From CNN: Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress, but with major conditions, including immunity, according to a list of her demands sent to the House Oversight Committee by her attorneys.
House Oversight Chair James Comer subpoenaed Maxwell to testify next month. In a new letter sent to Comer Tuesday, Maxwell’s attorneys said they initially decided to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights, but then offered to cooperate with Congress “if a fair and safe path forward can be established.”
Her attorneys noted Maxwell is currently appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court and argued that “any testimony she provides now could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool.”
Maxwell is seeking to delay her scheduled August 11 deposition.

Maxwell’s conditions, as laid out by her attorneys, include:

Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has reportedly rejected any notion of giving Maxwell immunity, and said last week, “I don’t think there are many Republicans that want to give immunity to someone that may have been sex trafficking children.”
A spokeswoman for the Committee said on Tuesday, “The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”
CNN also notes in their report that if Maxwell is trying to delay her deposition until after the Supreme Court rules on whether to hear her appeal, that could bump it back to October, as the Justices aren’t scheduled to return from their summer break until then.
