The Justice Department gave convicted Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell limited immunity during questioning this week, according to recent reports.

But not before Rep. James Comer (R-KY) went on record saying the Trump administration shouldn’t do that.

According to CNN’s Manu Raju on Friday evening, “[I] asked House Oversight Chairman James Comer this week if they would offer immunity to Maxwell in her deposition with House, and he told me: ‘I don’t think there are many Republicans that want to give immunity to someone that may have been sex trafficking children.’”

Per ABC News, the immunity agreement Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche offered Maxwell is a standard procedure in criminal cases to make non-cooperative witnesses more willing to talk, and doesn’t affect her current conviction and 20-year prison sentence.

However, it comes amid general controversy over what the Justice Department and Blanche are trying to accomplish by interviewing Maxwell, and fears they could be setting the stage for giving her clemency.

Trump has tried to stem a revolt from his own supporters for weeks, after the Justice Department moved to close the books on their review of the Epstein case and concluded he died by suicide as originally ruled. It also found there is no “client list” implicating rich and powerful people in Epstein’s sex trafficking schemes — all of which contradicted years of conspiracy theories that have proliferated on the right.
