Convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is being denied her lawyers’ demand for immunity in return for her scheduled testimony before a congressional committee’s investigators next month.

Lawyers for Maxwell told House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in a letter Tuesday that they are demanding Maxwell be given a grant of immunity. But Comer’s office dismissed the idea for now.
