Ghislaine Maxwell is open to answering questions from Congress if granted immunity from future prosecution, her lawyers say.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex offender and former associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, wants House lawmakers to give her immunity from further criminal prosecution in exchange for freely talking with them.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence and is housed at a low-security federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida. She was sentenced three years ago after being convicted of helping Epstein, a wealthy, well-connected financier, sexually abuse underage girls.
