“… Dershowitz said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday”… he does not see any harm in offering Maxwell “use immunity” to talk freely about the Epstein case in testimony before Congress.
“If she were just given use immunity, she could be compelled to testify. I’m told that she actually would be willing to testify, and there’d be no reason for her to withhold any information,” Dershowitz said….”

Not sure why Maxwell, who is asking SCOTUS to overturn her conviction in reliance on the Epstein co-conspirator immunity deal, would cooperate with DOJ for use immunity (immunity from future prosecution based on that testimony) even as DOJ opposes her SCOTUS appeal.
But it would be kind of hilarious if Team Trump ends up giving Maxwell her freedom in the name of transparency.

The president’s remarks come after he drew criticism for his initial reaction to the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion.
“… “
Her friend, or boyfriend, was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She’s now in jail,” Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan in an
interviewthat aired Monday night on HBO.
“
Yeah, I wish her well,” he said. “I’d wish you well. I’d wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove somebody was guilty.”
The president’s latest remarks on Maxwell come after he drew
significant criticism two weeks ago for his initial reaction to the news of her arrest.
“
I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is,” Trump
told reporters at a White House coronavirus briefing.…”
Also recall that Dershowitz is the lawyer who represented Epstein and helped negotiate his original sweetheart deal and has been the subject of direct accusations by Epstein victims.
