Convicted Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell appeared remotely before Congress today.
Unfortunately, her testimony lasted less than an hour, as Maxwell repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment in response to every question.
Yes, it was another frustrating chapter in the ongoing saga of the Epstein files.
But this time, there’s a possibility that the information that’s been promised for so long will finally be revealed.
While Maxwell refused to speak today, she says she’s happy to cooperate with Congress if they give her what she wants.
“As expected, Ghislaine Maxwell took the Fifth and refused to answer any questions. This obviously is very disappointing,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters after the deposition (via Fox News).
“We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions bout potential co-conspirators. We sincerely want to get to the truth for the American people and justice for survivors.”
But Maxwell is not keeping mum out of loyalty to Epstein. Instead, she’s attempting to trade her information for a pardon.
Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, read a statement to the Oversight panel that he later posted on X in its entirety:
“If this Committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path,” Markus said.
“Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump. Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters,” he continued, adding:
“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. Only she can provide the complete account.”
Markus concluded by revealing that his client’s testimony would exonerate both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
“Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters,” he continued.
“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.”
So Ghislaine Maxwell is either not aware of any wrongdoing by Clinton or Trump, or she wants the folks in power to know that they’ll be safe if they grant her a plea deal.
Is this the Epstein breakthrough that the whole world has been waiting for? Or will Maxwell take her deal and then just repeat a bunch of stuff we already know?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain — the ball is now squarely in the Trump administration’s court.

As you’ve surely heard by now, Bad Bunny delivered an epic performance during halftime of Super Bowl LX on Sunday night.
For many viewers, it was the most entertaining halftime spectacle in recent memory.
But others began criticizing this year’s halftime show months ago, when Bad Bunny — real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — was first announced as the headliner.
They complained that the performance would be un-American, even though Benito was born in the US territory of Puerto Rico.
They griped that he performs primarily in Spanish, as though anyone watches the Super Bowl halftime show for the lyrics.
In other words, this is a situation where a lot of people got outraged first, and then worked their way backward to try and justify their furor.
The haters received some valuable ammunition on Monday in the form of a viral photo that appears to show Benito burning an American flag.
“Right here. This is why this fu–wad should be nowhere near the Super Bowl,” wrote one very angry X user who reposted the pic.
Needless to say, a lot of very pissed off patriots soon joined OP in expressing their outrage.
Few of those people could be bothered by the fact that the photo is very clearly fake.
Thankfully, community notes exist, and the post has now been updated with some important facts:
“The image first appeared on a Facebook account that says it publishes satire,” the note reads.
“The image contained a SynthID watermark, indicating it had been generated using artificial intelligence.”
Of course, the original poster still hasn’t deleted the photo, because being outraged is more important than being right.
It’s possible that no halftime show in history has sparked as much controversy as Bad Bunny’s.
As we previously reported, the folks at Turning Point USA were so angry that they prerecorded their own halftime show and aired it opposite the real one.
Donald Trump lashed out at Bad Bunny on his Truth Social platform, calling this year’s halftime show “one of the worst ever.”
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence,” the president posted, adding:
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
“This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!”
How has Benito responded to all of this?
Well, it seems that he’s mostly just shrugged it off and kept living his best life. One thing he hasn’t done (as far as anyone knows) is burn an American flag — but don’t tell that to the AI-happy hate mongers.
