WASHINGTON — Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell told Congress on Monday she’ll clear both President Trump and former President Bill Clinton in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal – once she’s sprung from prison. 

Maxwell, 64, opted to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a deposition before the powerful House Oversight Committee when she appeared virtually from a federal prison camp. She answered no questions about Epstein’s sick sex acts with underage girls and the powerful men who were complicit in his crimes.

But Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told lawmakers she’d start talking if Trump grants her clemency. 

“Both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing,” Markus said in a statement later posted to X.

“Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation.

“On my advice, Ghislaine Maxwell will respectfully invoke her Fifth Amendment right to silence and decline to answer questions today even though she would very much like to answer your questions,” Markus continued.

Trump and Clinton are pictured and mentioned in the Epstein files, but both men deny any wrongdoing. 

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, conspiracy, and other crimes committed while in the service of Epstein.

“If this Committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path,” Markus said. “Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump.”

Trump’s Justice Department already interviewed Maxwell in prison last year, and she was subsequently transferred to a posher lockup. Trump, who was friends with Epstein in Florida and New York, hasn’t ruled out a pardon completely. 

“I haven’t even thought about. I haven’t thought about it for months. Maybe I haven’t thought about it all,” Trump said in November. “But I don’t talk about that. I don’t rule it in or out.”

The House Oversight Committee is investigating Maxwell’s links to the deceased sex offender Epstein and had expected her to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

“We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed — as well as questions about potential co-conspirators,” Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters after the brief deposition.

“We sincerely want to get to the truth for the American people and justice for survivors. That’s what this is about.”

Comer noted that at least five more depositions were scheduled: Ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner on Feb. 18, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Feb. 26, former President Bill Clinton on Feb. 27, Epstein accountant Richard Kahn on March 11, and the financier’s lawyer Darren Indyke on March 19.

The chairman added that he was open to hearing from more Epstein associates but hasn’t committed to any further interviews — including with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The Cabinet official planned to visit Epstein’s private Caribbean island of Little St. James in 2012, according to emails released by the Justice Department — despite having told The Post that he broke off contact with the financier around 2005.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who co-authored the legislation that allowed for the ongoing Department of Justice disclosures, submitted seven questions he wanted to ask Maxwell before the Monday deposition.

That included verifying the accuracy of a claim in a December filing by Maxwell’s team that 29 associates of Epstein had secret non-prosecution agreements.

Khanna also wanted to ask whether Maxwell would name names and whether she or Epstein would “arrange, facilitate, or provide access to underage girls to President Trump?” 

Maxwell testified to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche under a limited immunity protection this past July that she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.”

Days later, she was inexplicably transferred from a federal prison in Tallahassee, Fla., to a medium-security camp in Texas — nicknamed “Club Fed” — raising the eyebrows of critics who suggested that she was in line for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

The White House has denied that clemency is under consideration.

Trump and Epstein fraternized in the 1990s and early 2000s before the future Republican president cut off all contact with the soon-to-be registered sex offender.

Maxwell, in the July 24 and 25 interview with the DOJ, provided almost no new information on Epstein’s other infamous associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York; ex-Harvard University President Larry Summers; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, or former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

The DOJ, in a memo released July 6, also determined that Epstein held no “client list” of rich and influential elites whom he sought to blackmail as part of a sex trafficking ring — and that no additional co-conspirators were going to be charged.

The joint DOJ-FBI document further concluded that the 66-year-old committed suicide in his Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to soliciting a minor for prostitution, had to register as a sex offender, and served around 13 months in state prison — most of it on work release.
