"What are your thoughts about Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers saying she needs clemency before she testifies?" Garcia asked Comer as he exited the committee room.
Comer had a bemused look on his face as he concocted an answer.
"Well, I don't know," Comer began. "Initially, she said a month ago that she would testify if we granted her immunity on the Oversight Committee. We discussed that, and met with the survivors, and they didn't support that, so we never considered it."
"This was something new today," Comer added. "Obviously, that's not something for me to decide. That's for the president to decide."

I just wonder about these defenders of the offenders. Don't they have daughters? Granddaughters? Nieces? Sick of this whole rotten lot.

Are states able to bring charges against Maxwell? Crimes were allegedly committed in New York, Florida, and New Mexico.
