Elie Honig: Seems Like Congress Is Only Interested with the ‘Show,’ if They’re Not Granting Immunity to Ghislaine Maxwell

EXCERPT:

HONIG: “And the important point here is, if Congress wants to get her testimony, if they really believe she‘s a truth teller and a Rosetta stone, which I seriously doubt, they have the power to get it by giving her immunity. And I have to make this point about immunity. Immunity has nothing to do, no impact at all on her sex trafficking conviction, on her 20-year sentence. All it would do is say that whatever she testifies to, Congress cannot be used against her in the future. And so when we see Representative Comer there saying, 'Well, we‘re not going to immunize someone who‘s a convicted sex trafficker,' why did you subpoena her in the first place? That‘s how you get the testimony. So, Kaitlan, the power here really resides with Congress, and it seems like they‘re not actually dead set on getting her testimony. They‘re more interested in a show here."
