The recent developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case have taken a significant turn as Ghislaine Maxwell, a key associate, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights during a congressional deposition, refusing to answer questions about her involvement and potential co-conspirators. According to NBC News, Maxwell's decision to remain silent has drawn criticism from lawmakers, with Democratic Representative Robert Garcia suggesting it points to a 'White House cover-up' (The Guardian). Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, confirmed her decision to invoke her constitutional rights, as reported by multiple sources including Al Jazeera and The News Pakistan. This move has fueled speculation and frustration among those seeking transparency and accountability in the Epstein case.
