Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to testify before Congress about the Epstein case, sources have told the Daily Mail. The 63-year-old Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking, remains the only person behind bars in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, despite allegations that the late financier operated an extensive network involving underage victims who were reportedly trafficked to wealthy associates and business contacts at his various properties, including his private Caribbean island.
A source close to Maxwell revealed that she was never offered any plea agreement and would welcome the opportunity to address Congress directly. “She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” the source indicated, adding that government officials have never formally requested her cooperation despite her being the only person jailed in relation to the case. “She would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.”
What that “truth” entails remains unclear. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for her role in facilitating the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor victims alongside Epstein over approximately a decade. Her legal team has argued that she should have been protected under a Non Prosecution Agreement that Epstein secured in 2007, which resulted in his guilty plea to minor prostitution charges in what critics called a “sweetheart deal” that saw him spend minimal time behind bars.
The case continues to generate significant controversy, particularly regarding the Department of Justice’s position that no comprehensive Epstein “client list” exists. Additional scrutiny has focused on surveillance footage from New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, which the DOJ maintains supports the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Critics have highlighted gaps in the video evidence, including a missing minute of footage that fails to show Epstein’s cell door or interior, fueling ongoing speculation about the circumstances of his death.
The handling of the Epstein case has created tension within certain political circles, with some supporters of President Trump expressing frustration over perceived inaction regarding file releases. The scandal and alleged cover-up have prompted what some describe as a rebellion among Trump’s MAGA base, with some even suggesting that Attorney General Pam Bondi should be dismissed after apparently backing away from promises to release files related to Epstein and his high-profile associates.
President Trump addressed these concerns on Truth Social, writing: “For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we not giving publicity to files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration?” The Epstein controversy was also a prominent topic at the recent Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, hosted by Turning Point USA, where attendees expressed expectations for transparency from the current administration.
A source close to Maxwell told the Daily Mail that the former Epstein associate, who continues to maintain her innocence, would “welcome the chance to sit in front of Congress and tell her story.” The source noted that “Congressional hearings have been held into everything from JFK’s assassination to 9/11. The Epstein Files rank up there with those cases. Ghislaine would be willing to speak before Congress and tell her story.”
Maxwell is also pursuing appeals through the legal system, with her attorneys seeking Supreme Court review of her case. The government is scheduled to submit its response to her Supreme Court petition on July 14. Meanwhile, President Trump’s former associate Elon Musk has claimed there is a cover-up because Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files, something sources close to Maxwell dismiss as “a false flag.”
“President Trump was photographed with Epstein several times and they ran in the same circles but Trump was one of the first to break all contact with Epstein because they fell out over a business deal and Epstein’s treatment of women,” an informed source explained. “There are no big shocks about President Trump in the Epstein Files. But there are a lot of powerful men involved and a lot of money and it will come down to following the money.”
The Department of Justice has indicated that no additional prosecutions are anticipated in connection with the Epstein case, including regarding Britain’s Prince Andrew, who faced allegations from Virginia Giuffre regarding encounters when she was 17. Prince Andrew has consistently denied all allegations and reached a civil settlement with Giuffre without admitting wrongdoing.
