Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell will stay silent and invoke her Fifth Amendment rights during her deposition with the House Oversight Committee next month, according to a Wednesday letter to the committee in which her attorneys argued her testimony would amount to “political theater.”

Comer announced Wednesday the oversight committee will depose Maxwell on Feb. 9. through a virtual testimony.

In a letter sent to House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., Maxwell’s attorneys said their client, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, will invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer questions.
