Democratic representative says Epstein associate’s decision to invoke fifth amendment points to ‘White House cover-up’
Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions during a closed-door congressional deposition on Monday, prompting criticism from a House representative backing efforts to release Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.
Robert Garcia, ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said in a statement that Maxwell invoked the fifth amendment and refused to testify during her scheduled deposition. Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, also said that she invoked her fifth amendment right.
“After months of defying our subpoena, Ghislaine Maxwell finally appeared before the oversight committee and said nothing,” said Garcia, a California Democrat. “She answered no questions and provided no information about the men who raped and trafficked women and girls.
“Who is she protecting? And we need to know why she’s been given special treatment at a low security prison by the Trump administration. We are going to end this White House cover-up.”
In technical sports terms this is known as a “Sticky Wicket”. We are all waiting and watching. If we need to breakdown this term for anyone, well then, we needn’t. If it doesn’t make any sense, please do take us up on this offer to please allow yourself in front of a vehicle that is traveling at a high rate of speed. I apologize. This whole thing is kinda outta control and I am only capable of having the final word on my feelings towards the backwards injustice that has been put on display front and center for the world to see. That said. F—k these evil species of human critters at any capacity and may their final breaths we inhale.
