Rep. Ro Khanna said Ghislaine Maxwell should be immediately returned to a maximum-security prison after she refused to answer questions before the House Oversight Committee. The California Democrat accused the convicted sex trafficker of hiding behind the Fifth Amendment while survivors continue to seek answers about Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Maxwell’s lawyer hit back, calling Khanna’s demand authoritarian and unconstitutional. Khanna argued that her silence, after previously speaking to Justice Department officials, raises serious questions about special treatment.
