Jeffrey Epstein's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth Amendment today in response to nearly every question by the House Oversight Committee.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff fell on his sword over the weekend, resigning over alleged Epstein links.

Here's Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce with the story.
