Maxwell Declines Testimony, Cites Fifth Amendment Rights (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Ms. Maxwell, were you a close friend and confidant of Jeffrey Epstein?

[00:00:06] Speaker 2: I would like to answer your question, but on the advice of Council, I respectfully decline to answer this question and any related questions. My habeas petition is pending in the Southern District of New York. I therefore invoke my right to silence under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

[00:00:29] Speaker 1: Let the record reflect that Ms. Maxwell has invoked the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination. Ms. Maxwell, is it your intention to answer every question put to you by the committee today with the assertion of your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination? I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to silence.

[00:00:47] Speaker 3: The answer to that is yes, also. So just as her lawyer, I'll tell you, yes, that's her intention.
