Maxwell, the longtime partner of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is currently serving a 20-year-sentence for sex trafficking and has been in talks with the Trump administration and Congress about dishing on the disgraced financier and his relationships.

He issued her a subpoena for her testimony one day after lawmakers voted to have her reveal more about her case and the crimes committed by Epstein.
However, after Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus sent a document with conditions for her testimony, the committee has said they won’t accept them.

The letter from Markus to the committee – which was obtained by the Daily Mail – contains a list of conditions for her to testify, including immunity.
‘Public reports—including your own statements—indicate that the committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity. Those are non-starters,’ the letter states.

Markus further requests that the committee provide Maxwell with their questions in advance of their sit-down.
He also asked to push their meeting until after Maxwell’s pending case before the Supreme Court in which she’s alleging wrongful legal treatment and until after a subsequent secondary challenge so that her testimony does not sway those cases.
Maxwell may want to talk, according to a source who told the Daily Mail last week ‘she would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story.’

‘I requested that she be placed immediately into protective custody and monitored – by guards as well as working surveillance equipment – around the clock, so that our justice system does not again fail the survivors of this Epstein nightmare,’ Republican Rep. Scott Perry posted on X.
Trump’s closest allies and rank-and-file members – including House Oversight Chairman James Comer, Anna Paulina Luna, Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene – backed the subpoena for Maxwell.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has met multiple times with Maxwell at the behest of Trump to discuss what she knows about the Epstein files.
