The Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, has emerged from that hearing and informed all of us that Ghislaine Maxwell has decided to take the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer any questions.

We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co conspirators.

We sincerely want to get to the truth to the American people and justice for the survivors.

I want to mention the next steps we can confirm.

我想提一下我們可以確認的下一步行動。

We have five more depositions in the book scheduled for the Epstein investigation.

在Epstein的調查中，我們還有五場宣誓作證安排好了。

On February 18, Lex Wexner, who is a financial client of Epstein, and

2月18日，Epstein的財務客戶Lex Wexner，

I believe the former CEO of Victoria Secret.

Do you think that Britain's royal family has questions to answer to your committee?

你認為英國皇室需要向你們委員會回答問題嗎？

嗯，我們很樂意聽取任何人的說法。

Obviously I can't subpoena in foreign countries or I would have done that in the Biden investigation.

顯然我無法在國外發出傳喚，否則在拜登的調查中我早就這麼做了。

不過Andy，你還有什麼要補充的嗎？

I'll just add one thing, that the attorney for Ms.

我只想補充一點，就是這位女士的律師

Maxwell said that she has no indication and would say that neither Presidents Trump or Clinton are culpable for any wrongdoing.

Maxwell 表示她沒有任何跡象，而且她會說川普總統或柯林頓總統都沒有任何不當行為。

And that's one thing they said in his opening statement to us today.

這也是他們今天在開場陳述中告訴我們的一件事。

Was Ghislaine Maxwell put under pressure to stay silent?

吉蓮·麥斯威爾是否受到壓力而保持沉默？

We would have brought her in months ago, but she's indicated she was going to plead the Fifth.

我們幾個月前就會傳喚她了，但她表示她會主張第五修正案權利。

And unfortunately, she had an opportunity today to answer questions that every American has, questions that would be very important in this investigation.

令人遺憾的是，她今天有機會回答每個美國人都有的問題，這些問題在這個調查中會非常重要。

And she chose to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.

而她選擇主張她的第五修正案權利。

Can you clarify what her lawyer said about President Trump and Clinton?

你能說明一下她的律師說關於川普總統和柯林頓的什麼嗎？

And do you think that there's anything more to do with Lily Maxwell now that she's hunted there?

而且你覺得莉莉·麥斯威爾現在被通緝了，還有什麼事嗎？

Just to be clear what her attorney said Maxwell didn't say.

只是要弄清楚她的律師說了什麼，麥斯威爾沒有說。

Her attorney said that she would answer questions if she were granted clemency by the President and that she went on to say about Clinton and.

她的律師說，如果總統給予她赦免，她就會回答問題，而且她還接著說了關於柯林頓和。

he went on to expand that the Other thing is he pointed out a number of times that she has a habeas corpus petition pending for a new trial and release and that's why she is not going to answer questions.

他接著補充說，還有另一件事是他好幾次指出，她有一個人身保護令的訴願正在進行中，要求重新審判並釋放，這就是為什麼她不會回答問題。

I know that those conversations are ongoing.

Is your understanding still that we're looking at those same February dates and they're going to be proactive?

你的理解是我們還在看二月的那些日期，而且他們會主動進行嗎？

And they will be public just like this will be public, hopefully very soon.

而且它們會公開，就像這個很快就會公開一樣，希望很快。

We've released every transcript and every video and audio of every deposition we've done since I've been chairman of the committee on.

自從我擔任委員會主席以來，我們已經公開了每一次宣誓作證的逐字稿和影音。

Mr. Chairman, does the committee have any plans to subpoena Commerce Secretary Howard Lubnick, given the revelations?

主席先生，鑑於這些揭露，委員會是否有計畫傳喚商務部長 Howard Lubnick？

We're going to try to get these five nailed down.

We've got a lot of very important people we're trying to bring in to answer questions.

我們有很多非常重要的人要請來回答問題。

We don't want to do anything to jeopardize the five that we have on the book.

我們不想做任何事來危及我們已經在進行的五件事。

So we'll see what happens here and we'll move forward.

所以我們看看這裡會發生什麼，然後繼續前進。

We're interested in talking to anyone that might have any information that would help us get justice for the survivors.

我們對任何可能提供資訊來幫助我們為倖存者爭取正義的人都很感興趣。

On the disagreement with the Clintons about closed door videotape testimony versus public hearing, are you concerned this will be enough to restart contempt proceedings or do you think you'll come to a resolution?

關於與柯林頓夫婦在閉門錄影證詞與公開聽證會上的分歧，您是否擔心這足以重新啟動藐視法庭程序，還是您認為會達成解決方案？

我的意思是，他們是這麼說的。

他們同意進行標準的宣誓作證。

Every time I've come out here for a press gaggle with you all, we've had a standard deposition.

每次我出來這裡跟各位開記者會時，我們都會進行標準的宣誓作證。

所以這就是宣誓作證的運作方式。

所以他們想要公開的宣誓作證。

Your investigation about Ilhan Omar, why are you targeting her when there is a Ilhan Omar.

你對 Ilhan Omar 的調查，為什麼要針對她，明明就有個 Ilhan Omar。

Your committee investigation with Ilhan Omar, when there is a process in the House and people have questions about their conduct.

你對 Ilhan Omar 的委員會調查，當眾議院有程序，而且大家對他們的行為有疑問時。

This would go through the Ethics Committee.

The Ethics Committee has jurisdiction over members of Congress.

道德委員會對國會議員有管轄權。

The two businesses in question are owned by Ms. Omar's husband.

涉及的兩家公司是 Omar 女士丈夫擁有的。

So the Ethics Committee does not have jurisdiction over a spouse, only a member.

所以道德委員會對配偶沒有管轄權，只有對議員本人。

I don't think anyone would pertain to her overall finances because that is listed on her financial disclosure report.

我不認為任何人會牽涉到她的整體財務，因為那已經列在她的財務申報表上了。

We've read this by the Ethics Committee, and we think this is the appropriate route.

我們已經看過道德委員會的這份報告了，而且我們認為這是適當的處理方式。

Yes, Just going back to the pending deposition.

沒錯，只是回到那個待處理的宣誓作證。

Sorry, I understand that you're going to release the transcripts, you'll release the video.

抱歉，我明白你們會公佈逐字稿，也會公佈影片。

Why is there reticence to just have it be public since the Clintons.

I mean, it's going to be the video and it will release it.

我的意思是，會是影片，然後會發布。
