Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Ghislaine Maxwell Refuses to Answer Questions During Congressional Deposition

Ghislaine Maxwell, who is scheduled to testify before Congress, has refused to answer questions during her deposition. According to reports, Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Maxwell’s lawyer stated that she would not answer any questions that could potentially incriminate her or others involved in the case. The exact nature of the questions and the reasons for Maxwell’s refusal are not specified.

The congressional deposition is part of an ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier who died in prison last year while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell has been accused of helping to recruit and groom young women for Epstein’s abuse.

Lawmakers will review unredacted files related to the Epstein case during the hearing. The exact details of these files are not publicly available.

Maxwell is expected to plead the Fifth Amendment in her upcoming deposition, which marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s associates.
