Ghislaine Maxwell Says She’d Answer Congress’s Questions If She Gets Immunity or Clemency

In a letter to the House Oversight Committee, Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus said she would appear only after resolving her appeal of her sex-trafficking conviction before the Supreme Court. Markus added that Maxwell would require immunity for any questioning, saying she couldn’t risk further criminal exposure, and would need a list of questions in advance.

Maxwell was responding to a subpoena for her testimony from the committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.). Without the requested assurances, Markus said in the letter, Maxwell would invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

“Of course, in the alternative, if Ms. Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing—and eager—to testify openly and honestly,” Markus told Comer.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Court Papers Missing From Public Record

(January 7, 2026)

In a letter submitted to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Tuesday, Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, noted that a total of 14 pages were missing from Maxwell’s motion to vacate submitted on December 17. Examining the public docket shows that Maxwell’s appeal omitted pages 13 to 19 and pages 27 to 33, as Clayton observed.

The government has received a full version of the motion in electronic form and in a USB drive sent via FedEx, he wrote, but these papers remain absent from the public record.

Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Attorney’s office and Maxwell’s lawyer via email for further comment.

The DOJ offers only excuses as the Epstein Files remain secret

There is one additional fact related to the Epstein Files release that has largely gone unnoticed. In early December, shortly before the full set of Epstein Files was supposed to be made public, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a motion to vacate her conviction. This is a routine motion often filed by federal prisoners after their direct appeals have been rejected.

Alle Optionen bleiben denkbar – 3 strategische Ziele: So agiert Dänemark gegen Trumps Grönland-Drohungen

Obwohl ein direkter militärischer Konflikt zwischen Nato-Partnern bisher als undenkbar galt, hat die dänische Ministerpräsidentin Mette Frederiksen klargestellt, dass man nach Trumps Weigerung, militärische Gewalt auszuschließen, keine Option mehr ignorieren könne. Die Stationierung von Soldaten erhöht daher die „politischen Kosten“ für die USA massiv.

Ein Angriff auf Grönland würde nun bedeuten, dass US-Truppen direkt gegen Soldaten anderer Nato-Länder kämpfen müssten.
Ein solches Szenario würde in den USA vermutlich auf massiven innenpolitischen und womöglich militärischen Widerstand stoßen.
Die Hoffnung Kopenhagens ist, dass diese politische Hürde schwerer wiegt als die abstrakte Sorge vor einem Zusammenbruch der Nato.

I was in the room when Trump addressed leaders in Davos. Here are my top takeaways

Trump was met with loud applause as he took the stage for what many billed as the most closely watched speech of this year’s Davos.

He opened by saying it was good to see so many friends and “some enemies,” drawing laughter from the crowd. From there, he leaned heavily into self-assessment, describing himself as the most successful president and pointing to what he said were his major achievements accomplished in just one year….

A Distraction from Epstein Files? Trump Ramps Up Chaos in Minnesota, Greenland & Beyond

AMY GOODMAN: And finally, Michele, I wanted to ask you about another topic. One month has now passed since Congress’s deadline for the Justice Department to release all files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but the DOJ says it’s made available less than 1% of those files. And you see many people are saying, “Is he going after Minneapolis, saying he’s going to take Greenland, you know, taking the president of Venezuela, and possibly threatening to bomb Iran to take attention away?” Could that be it? You see his sensitivity at the Dearborn auto plant, when a worker yelled “Pedophile protector! Pedophile protector!” and he turned around and gave him the finger and mouthed the words “F— you,” but said the curse.

MICHELE GOODWIN: Well, it’s certainly inconsistent with what were the campaign promises. The campaign promises to those who supported Trump, and those who didn’t, was that the files would be released, all of the files. Now, that’s not happened, so — and that’s critically important.

Canada military models response to US invasion: report

The officials told the Globe that, in an invasion scenario, US forces would overcome Canadian positions on land and at sea in as little as two days.

Because Canada does not have the military resources to resist the United States, the Canadian pushback would be shaped by an insurgency‑style campaign, including ambushes and „hit‑and‑run tactics,“ the report said.

How to change DNS settings on every device

(August 12, 2022)

By default, your home network likely relies on a DNS server provided by your internet provider. However, these servers aren’t always the fastest and, in some cases, may even allow your ISP to maliciously track your online behavior. To that end, if internet speed and privacy matter a lot, you should perhaps consider changing your DNS server.

The best way to change your DNS server is at the router level, which will affect every single device connected to it.
