A video released by members of Congress shows Maxwell, the jailed associate of Jeffrey Epstein, refusing to answer questions about the late sex offender.

Maxwell appeared virtually for a closed-door deposition from the Texas prison where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said that “as expected”, Maxwell pleaded the Fifth Amendment, invoking her right to remain silent.

“This is obviously very disappointing,” he said. “We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co-conspirators.”

    So then did they submit the evidence they already had in the form of questions? For example, “we have this documented evidence here, which shows XYZ, do you wish to make comment on this matter?” “I plead the 5th.”, GM. And keep doing that hour after hour till all of the evidence has been read into the record. Oh, right, and also make sure that this happened in public. Oh, what’s that? This was a closed door session? Well there’s your problem. We’re trying to exhibit transparency, aren’t we? Power cycle the system, and when it reboots, try again with an OPEN DOOR SESSION so that your bosses, the United States Citizens can know exactly what is going on. Try that and see how it works.
