Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer lawmakers’ questions in a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. After the hearing, Democratic Congressmember Melanie Stansbury said Maxwell used the opportunity to make her case for clemency.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “Her silence can be bought through clemency. It is very clear that that is the message that she is trying to send directly to Donald Trump himself, directly.”

This comes as several lawmakers are criticizing the Justice Department, claiming that the Epstein files still contain major redactions. This is Congressmember Ro Khanna and Congressmember Thomas Massie speaking to reporters Monday.

Rep. Thomas Massie: “I mean, what we’re after is the men who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to. We want those names published.”

Rep. Ro Khanna: “Our bigger concern is that there’s still a lot that’s redacted. Even in what we’re seeing, we’re seeing redacted versions. I thought we were supposed to see the unredacted versions. And that’s because the documents produced to Justice from the FBI, from other — from the grand jury, was redacted when they got it.”
