Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted in 2022 for child sex trafficking in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, has reportedly expressed willingness to testify before Congress about Epstein’s so-called client list, according to sources cited by the Daily Mail.
A source close to Maxwell stated she is eager to “tell her story” and reveal the truth about Epstein’s network, noting she was never offered a plea deal and remains the only person jailed in relation to the case. This offer comes amid heightened public and political scrutiny over the Epstein case, with critics questioning the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) claim that no client list exists and no further prosecutions are expected.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence and has appealed her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that a 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with Epstein should have protected her from prosecution. Her legal team contends that the NPA’s promise not to prosecute Epstein’s co-conspirators should apply across jurisdictions, a claim rejected by lower courts.
On July 14, 2025, the DOJ responded to Maxwell’s Supreme Court appeal, urging the Court to deny it, asserting that the NPA did not bind the Southern District of New York, where she was prosecuted. The DOJ’s stance has drawn criticism from some, including Maxwell’s attorney, who argued that the government should honor its agreements, with one lawyer stating, “I’d be surprised if President Trump knew his lawyers were asking the Supreme Court to let the government break a deal.”
The appeal remains pending, with Maxwell’s legal team describing it as a “do or die” moment for her case. Public interest in her potential testimony is fueled by ongoing speculation about Epstein’s associates, though the DOJ maintains that no incriminating client list was found. Social media reactions, including posts on X, express skepticism about the DOJ’s handling of the case.
