Ghislaine Maxwell Claims Someone Closed Epstein Investigation; Offers to Testify Before Congress
By XMN News Investigative Team | July 16, 2025
Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell revelation, Ghislaine Maxwell has broken her silence from behind bars, claiming that someone in the previous Biden administration personally ensured that the Epstein investigation was shut down during his administration. The disgraced socialite also stated she is willing to testify before Congress about what she knows—if granted immunity.
Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, alleges that political pressure and high-level obstruction prevented any further exposure of Epstein’s network. According to Maxwell, powerful individuals—including politicians, corporate leaders, and foreign nationals—were protected by the decision to “close the case.”
MAXWELL CONVICTION
While Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking and had her appeal denied in 2024, she remains the only high-profile individual prosecuted in connection to Epstein’s vast and powerful network. Meanwhile, banks like Deutsche Bank settled for millions after being found to have enabled Epstein’s financial operations—but no executives were ever charged.
This lack of broader accountability is what has fueled repeated calls for transparency and further investigation. Many see Maxwell’s offer to testify as a last chance to expose the truth.
Political Divide Over the Epstein Files
In Washington, the controversy continues to divide lawmakers. Some Republicans have joined Democrats in calling for the full release of Epstein-related documents, while others have pushed back, citing national security and lack of new evidence.
Behind closed doors, tensions are growing. Recent footage released by the DOJ raised eyebrows, showing missing time stamps and what experts call “signs of tampering.” That footage has only amplified demands for a full-scale congressional inquiry.
Maxwell: From Prisoner to Potential Witness
Maxwell’s offer to testify could be a game-changer. She was, after all, the one person who stood beside Epstein through the height of his abuse operation. Victims have testified that she was the recruiter, the enabler, and the gatekeeper.
But she may also be the only remaining key to unlocking who else was involved—and who is still being protected.
Her testimony, if granted, could reopen cases long thought to be buried. But whether Congress takes that step remains to be seen.
What Comes Next
The American public wants answers. With congressional leaders now split and Maxwell speaking out, pressure is mounting for hearings, subpoenas, and accountability.
If Congress does not act, critics say it will confirm what many have feared all along: that the Epstein case was never about justice, but about protecting the powerful.
