Maxwell silent on Epstein

GHISLAINE Maxwell is seen on video inside her Texas prison refusing to help her victims as US lawmakers quizzed her about Jeffrey Epstein.

Her refusal to speak came as politicians disclosed that the late financier may have had a victim as young as nine.

They also revealed six men have had their names redacted from the Epstein files.

Looking notably healthier than when she was last seen in court, having gained weight, convicted teen sex trafficker Maxwell invoked her right to silence. Dressed in a beige prison uniform, her dark hair cropped short, Maxwell, 64, appeared composed throughout her 20-minute video deposition. The footage shows her speaking only to spell her name and repeatedly invoke her “right to silence”.

The testimony took place as members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee examined newly released Epstein documents.
