She is scheduled to appear, but it’s a deposition, not a public hearing
- Maxwell has been subpoenaed to appear on February 9 before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of its Epstein investigation.
- The session is expected to be a closed-door deposition, likely conducted virtually from the federal facility where she’s serving a 20-year sentence.
Her lawyers indicate she likely won’t answer questions
- According to multiple reports, Maxwell’s legal team has made clear she plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination — meaning she could refuse to answer.
- Previously, her attorneys laid out conditions (immunity, advance questions, clemency) under which she would be willing to testify fully — but the committee has declined to grant those conditions.
There’s no indication she’ll “drop names” of powerful figures
- Public reporting does not suggest leaders, politicians, or celebrities will be named by her on February 9 unless those individuals are directly relevant to the narrow legal matters before the committee and Maxwell chooses to answer.
- Instead, the realistic expectation based on her lawyers’ statements and oversight committee statements is that she will limit participation or plead the Fifth to protect herself from criminal exposure.
Big names are being drawn into related testimony, but separately
- Separately from Maxwell’s session, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify later in February under subpoena about the broader Epstein investigation.
- These sessions may deal with questions about social or political ties to Epstein’s network — not Maxwell’s deposition per se.
Why she may stay quiet
- Maxwell’s conviction is final (her appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court).
- Sitting for a deposition without immunity could expose her to additional charges if her answers touch on unsolved or unresolved matters. Her attorneys argue this makes silence the safer legal option.
Bottom Line
Will Maxwell “spill the beans” on February 9?
Unlikely. All available reporting indicates she plans to invoke her constitutional right to silence and avoid answering substantive questions unless conditions change, such as immunity or clemency.
Will revelations about Epstein’s network emerge?
Possibly — but not directly from Maxwell’s testimony. Other parts of the broader congressional inquiry and unsealed documents may lead to disclosures about financial ties, associates, and government handling of Epstein files.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer was Paul's way of literalizing something bad that happens to you out of the blue.
