Experts question convicted sex trafficker’s motivations as she claims she can reveal ‘truth’ in exchange for freedom
When Ghislaine Maxwell refused to testify before Congress last week, she nonetheless insisted on her willingness to help.
Maxwell, who was convicted of helping Jeffrey Epstein draw teenage girls into a world of sexual abuse, dangled the prospect of revealing truth before Congress and American public – so long as she was freed from jail.
“If this committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path. Ms Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump,” her attorney, David Oskar Marcus, said. “Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters.”
She added: “For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation.”
