- Maxwell was quietly moved from a Florida prison to a low-security Texas facility, fueling speculation about cooperation with authorities or preferential treatment. Victims' families condemned the transfer as "special treatment."

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has signaled her willingness to testify before Congress—but only under strict conditions, including immunity and advance access to questions—amid renewed scrutiny into the crimes of her late associate, financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, 64, proposed the terms in a letter obtained by the Washington Post, penned by her attorney, David Oscar Markus. The disgraced socialite, who played a central role in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, insists her cooperation hinges on legal protections to avoid self-incrimination.
BrightU.AI's Enoch notes that she is serving a 20-year prison sentence for enticement of minors and sex trafficking, while continuing to deny allegations and facing further charges for perjury related to Epstein's abuse network.
The move comes as Congress intensifies its probe into Epstein's network of powerful associates, with Maxwell positioned as a potential key witness—if she chooses to break her silence.
In the letter, Markus outlined Maxwell's demands: full immunity from prosecution and prior access to questions from the House Oversight Committee (HOC).
"The process cannot become a game of cat-and-mouse," Markus wrote. "Surprise questioning would be both inappropriate and unproductive."
Maxwell's insistence on pre-submitted questions suggests she seeks to carefully navigate testimony without exposing herself to further legal jeopardy. Her legal team has previously indicated that she possesses information that could exonerate high-profile figures linked to Epstein, including Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
"Both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing," Markus stated in a social media post earlier this year. "Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why."
Yet Maxwell has so far refused to cooperate without assurances. During a virtual deposition with the HOC earlier this year, she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, frustrating lawmakers seeking answers about Epstein's operation and its elite enablers.
Speculation over prison transfer
Adding to the intrigue, Maxwell was quietly transferred from Florida's Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee, to FPC Bryan, a low-security facility in Texas. The move has fueled speculation that she may be cooperating with authorities—or receiving preferential treatment ahead of potential testimony.
Families of Epstein's victims have condemned the transfer as "special treatment," accusing the justice system of failing survivors while shielding powerful figures tied to the scandal.
The Department of Justice has sought court approval to release grand jury testimony related to Epstein's case, but key records—including names of associates—remain sealed. Some lawmakers, including Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), claim they've identified improperly redacted names in the files and may disclose them publicly.
Political fallout and unanswered questions
The Epstein scandal continues to reverberate globally, with newly released documents implicating figures in politics, finance and academia. In the U.K., Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces pressure over his appointment of Peter Mandelson, a former envoy with ties to Epstein.
Meanwhile, Trump has denied discussing a pardon for Maxwell but has not ruled it out entirely.
"I haven't even thought about it," he said in November. "Maybe I haven't thought about it at all."
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) has urged against clemency, emphasizing that Maxwell's testimony should not be contingent on favors.
"We sincerely want to get to the truth for the American people and justice for survivors," Comer said.
As Maxwell maneuvers for leverage, her potential testimony remains a wildcard in the Epstein saga. Will Congress meet her demands—or will her silence persist, leaving critical questions unanswered?
With depositions pending for Epstein associates—including Bill and Hillary Clinton—the investigation could yet unveil explosive revelations. But for now, Maxwell holds the keys to a deeper truth—if she's willing or allowed, to turn them.
