Maxwell Pleads the Fifth in Epstein Files Deposition and Breezy Johnson on Her Olympic Gold

The House Oversight Committee deposed Ghislaine Maxwell this morning, seeking more information in their probe into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But Maxwell’s deposition was over as soon as it began: she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. NBC News Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles explains why Congress is still pushing for more information about Epstein, including getting a peek at the unredacted files released thus far, despite President Trump saying it’s time to move on. Plus, Olympic Alpine skier Breezy Johnson talks about the race where she earned Team USA’s first gold medal in Cortina – and how Lindsey Vonn was rooting for her even after her crash.

Due to an editing error, a previous version of this episode incorrectly suggested that Maxwell initiated a meeting with the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 9. In July last year, Maxwell initiated a meeting with DOJ officials, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, not the House Oversight Committee.
