Ghislaine Maxwell to tell ‘truth' about Epstein client list before Congress? Bombshell details emerge
'Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,' the source said, according to the outlet.
They added, 'No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.'
No evidence of a client list
This comes shortly after a review ordered by President Donald Trump-appointed leadership of the Justice Department and the FBI said they found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list" of associates. Previously, it was claimed that the financier blackmailed or conspired with the individuals mentioned in the list to victimize several women. The new information landed Attorney General Pam Bondi under, as she had previously vowed she would publicly release documents connected to the Epstein case.
Meanwhile, the department also released purported footage as part of its review, which according to officials confirm that Epstein died by suicide. Epstein was found dead while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019.
Maxwell was also involved in Epstein's crimes. She is now serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in December 2021. Maxwell was accused of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse minor girls.
Investigative reporter Tara Palmeri previously said that Maxwell may be helping the FBI take down Epstein's collaborators, which could help her avoid serving the full 20-year sentence. 'I think she's probably helping them right now,' Palmeri told Joanna Coles on The Daily Beast Podcast. 'I don't think she's going to spend all 20 years in jail.'
'They can't let her out right now, there would be public outrage,' Palmeri added. 'But [when] nobody's paying attention, story's gone away, few years, Ghislaine's out, or ends up in some nice prison. This is what I've been told by law enforcement sources.'

Nuns' arrest: BJP Kerala chief rejects Chhattisgarh CM's conversion allegations
Chandrasekhar said the party state general secretary, Anoop Antony, is already in Chhattisgarh to coordinate things and clarify the matter with the authorities there, and he himself would go there if needed. BJP Kerala president Rajeev Chandrasekhar categorically made it clear that his party would make all possible attempts to release the nuns from jail and bring them back home safe. Thiruvananthapuram/New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) A day after Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai justified police action against two Keralite Catholic nuns in that state, the BJP in Kerala on Tuesday virtually rejected his statements, saying that they were not involved in any human trafficking or forced conversion attempts. Meanwhile, a delegation of Congress-led UDF MPs landed in Chhattisgarh on Tuesday to meet the nuns. Though forced conversion is a clear issue in states like Chhattisgarh, no such thing has happened in this particular incident, Rajiv Chandrasekhar said. 'We are confident that they (nuns) have not gone there for that (convertions),' he told reporters here. In a post on X, Sai on Monday justified the police action against the nuns, saying, 'Three daughters of Narayanpur were promised nursing training followed by jobs'. An attempt was being made to convert them by human trafficking by luring them, he added. Rejecting the Chhattisgarh CM's remarks, Chandrasekhar said it was just an allegation. 'We believe that no such things have happened there. It is an allegation. Let's see later who has made all these things and for what. Our top priority now is to protect the nuns from the case and bring them back home safe,' he said. When reporters asked whether the BJP condemns the act of Bajrang Dal, who reportedly behaved in an objectionable manner to the nuns, the leader said the party would strongly condemn the unjustified act by anyone. 'There should not be any ambiguity and doubt in that. We will come back only after ensuring justice for the nuns. That's the party's determination,' he said. Chandrasekhar also made it clear that Bajrang Dal is an independent organisation and the BJP is a political party. 'If they do wrong and act against justice, they will be punished,' he added. Criticising the Congress in the matter, the BJP state chief further said, as in other issues, the grand old party is trying to play opportunistic politics in this matter too. The anti-conversion law in Chhattisgarh was passed by the Congress party when it was in power there, he added. Meanwhile, Anoop Antony, who leads the BJP's delegation, met Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma at his residence and told reporters that the Chhattisgarh government assured them it would intervene in the matter in a justifiable manner. He hoped that the government will intervene. He also said more details of the case could not be divulged at the moment as it is sub judice. The UDF MPs, including Benny Behannan, Francis George, and N K Premachandran strongly condemned the arrest of the nuns and said they would go to the prison here and try to meet them at the earliest. 'We will first go to the prison and try to meet the nuns. Then, we will contact the officials concerned. Our aim is to get the nuns released at the earliest,' Behannan told TV channels here. Premachandran alleged that the arrest of the nuns over charges of trafficking and forced conversion was a deliberate and calculated move. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai's justification of the police act was proof for the suspicion that it was carried out with the knowledge and support of the state government and the ruling political leadership here, he charged. Francis George, who was also part of the opposition delegation, sought to know how taking people for a job in a Christian convent would become human trafficking. He further alleged that the arrest of the nuns undermined the fundamental principles, freedom of movement, and religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. Before meeting the deputy CM, Anoop Antony said the party designated him to ensure a justifiable intervention in the matter. 'It is Chhattisgarh, and circumstances are different here. So, the objective of my visit is to ensure a justifiable intervention in the matter,' Antony told reporters here. The BJP Kerala unit, which came under vehement attack from political rivals and the church leadership, designated a delegation led by Anoop Antony on Monday to visit the party-ruled Chhattisgarh. The BJP's move came after two Kerala Ministers, P Rajeev and Roshy Augustine, visited the family of nun Preethi, one of the nuns arrested by the Chhattisgarh police. They had visited the family here as directed by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, to offer them the full support of the Left government. A Congress delegation, led by Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan and UDF MLAs, also visited the nun's family to express their solidarity on Monday. The Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council (KCBC), an influential body of the Catholic church in the state, strongly condemned the arrest of nuns, calling it a painful and unacceptable incident, and urged the Centre to take justifiable action. The arrest of two Catholic nuns, hailing from Kerala, in the BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion triggered a political controversy in the state.

Face-Off In Lok Sabha As Priyanka Gandhi Reads Out Pahalgam Victim Names
New Delhi: The Treasury and Opposition benches faced off in parliament this afternoon as Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra read out the names of the 25 Indians murdered in cold blood by terrorists in Pahalgam. The April 22 Pahalgam massacre had seen the killing of 26 civilians -- including 25 Indians and one Nepali tourist -- at the scenic Baisaran Valley. "I want to read out the names of 25 Indians so that every MP sitting here realises that even they were humans like us and not pawns of political powers. Even they were sons of this country. We are all answerable to their families. They deserve to know the truth," said Ms Gandhi, trying to corner the government during the special debate on Operation Sindoor. As she read out the first name, the treasury benches shouted: "Hindu", seeking to highlight that the killings were carried out based on their religion. "Bharatiya," replied Ms Gandhi, asserting they were Indians first. This soon set off a face-off between the treasury and opposition benches as loud shouts of "Hindu" and "Indian" filled the Lok Sabha after every name that Ms Gandhi read out.

" Maa Ke Aasu...": Priyanka Gandhi Snaps At Amit Shah's Sonia Gandhi, Batla House Jab
New Delhi: Who did Congress veteran Sonia Gandhi cry for? And for whom did she not? This was the subject of a barbed exchange between opposition leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Home Minister Amit Shah of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The setting - a Lok Sabha debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, India's military response to a terrorist strike that killed 26 people, most of whom were civilians. Mr Shah began the exchange Tuesday afternoon by claiming Mrs Gandhi had cried for the terrorists killed in the 2008 Batla House encounter in Delhi. "I remember one morning... I was eating breakfast and saw (Congress leader) Salman Khurshid crying on TV. He had come out of Sonia Gandhi's residence and said she had been sobbing over the Batla House incident." #WATCH | Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, "I remember one morning during breakfast, I saw Salman Khurshid crying on the TV. He was coming out of Sonia Gandhi's residence... He said that Sonia Gandhi was sobbing at the Batla House incident. She should have cried for Shaheed… — ANI (@ANI) July 29, 2025 "She should have cried for Mohan Sharma (a senior police officer killed by the terrorists) ..." Mr Shah's attack underlined the BJP's strategy during this debate - to attack the Congress over its track record of responding to terror attacks when the party-led UPA was in power. In an earlier section of his speech today Amit Shah also ripped into another senior Congress leader - P Chidambaram - for having asked for proof the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack were from Pakistan. Mr Chidambaram suggested they may have been "homegrown". Mr Shah criticised Mr Chidambaram for trying to 'save Pakistan' and declared, "When he says this, it means they (the Congress) are giving a clean chit (to Pak)." Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - who spoke after DMK MP K Kanimozhi delivered a history-shrouded warning to the BJP before next year's Tamil Nadu election - launched a scathing counterattack, accusing the BJP of intelligence and security failures that compounded the Pahalgam attack. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi delivered a powerful speech for the opposition. On Mr Shah's jab at her mother, she said, "Meri maa ke aasu tab gire jab unke pati ko aatankvadiyo ne shaheed kiya (My mother wept when her husband (former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi) was martyred by terrorists)," she thundered. READ | "Why Wasn't Security Present In Pahalgam," Priyanka Gandhi Asks She also questioned the intelligence failure that led to the Pahalgam attack, asking and why a popular tourist destination had been left completely unguarded. "The Defence Minister (Rajnath Singh) spoke for an hour... everything was spoken about, from Operation Sindoor to terrorism to national security... but one subject was skipped. How did this attack happen? Why did it happen?" she said. "Why wasn't a single soldier deployed? Did the government not know 1,000-1,500 people went there daily? There was no security... no first aid. These people went trusting the government..."
