The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to cast a long shadow over American politics and society, with its reverberations still felt on Capitol Hill and beyond.

Despite efforts by some, including former President Donald Trump, to move past the controversy, the Epstein files remain a persistent and explosive topic.

Recently, famed attorney Alan Dersowitz, who once represented Jeffrey Epstein, spoke candidly on *TMZ Live* about the case and proposed a bold solution to finally uncover the whole truth: granting Ghislaine Maxwell full immunity in exchange for her testimony.

 

Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019 left many questions unanswered and many victims without closure.

The case involves allegations of sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and a network of powerful individuals linked to Epstein’s activities.

While Epstein is no longer alive to face justice, Ghislaine Maxwell, his former associate, was convicted and is serving a prison sentence for her role in the crimes.

 

Despite Maxwell’s conviction, much of the information surrounding the case remains sealed or undisclosed, fueling public speculation and conspiracy theories.

The grand jury testimony and Justice Department files, while important, are believed to reveal only a fraction of the full story.

This has led to calls for greater transparency and accountability for all involved.

 

Alan Dersowitz, a prominent legal scholar and Epstein’s former lawyer, appeared on *TMZ Live* to discuss the complexities of the case and the potential paths forward.

Dersowitz emphasized that Ghislaine Maxwell holds the key to unlocking the full scope of the Epstein network.

According to him, Maxwell “knows everything” — from who was on Epstein’s private plane to the details of the alleged crimes.

 

Dersowitz argued that Maxwell’s current prison sentence is disproportionate, especially considering she was not the mastermind behind the crimes.

He noted that the 20-year sentence Maxwell faces was essentially imposed on behalf of the deceased Epstein, and that as an assistant or secretary, she should not bear the full brunt of the punishment.

 

The attorney suggested that Congress should consider granting Maxwell total immunity in exchange for her full cooperation and testimony before lawmakers.

“She should be given total immunity, called before Congress, and she’ll tell everything,” Dersowitz said.

This, he believes, would finally bring clarity to the case and reveal the identities of those who were truly guilty.

 

One major question Dersowitz acknowledged is what incentive Maxwell would have to cooperate if she only receives use immunity, meaning she wouldn’t be prosecuted for what she reveals.

Given that Maxwell has already been prosecuted and sentenced, Dersowitz argued that there must be a meaningful offer — such as commutation of her sentence — to encourage her to come forward.

He explained that Maxwell might have a strong legal argument that she was covered under an earlier immunity deal struck between Epstein and civil plaintiffs, which included co-conspirators.

Thus, striking a new deal with Maxwell could be both legally sound and beneficial for justice.

 

Dersowitz also addressed the public’s demand for accountability.

Many want everyone involved in Epstein’s crimes to be held responsible, and for the full truth to be revealed.

However, he cautioned that the picture is complicated.

Some individuals named in lawsuits may be victims, others perpetrators, and some may have been falsely accused for financial gain.

 

He highlighted the case of Sarah Ransom, a woman who filed an affidavit claiming to possess videotapes implicating high-profile figures such as Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Richard Branson in sex acts with minors.

This affidavit was later proven false, and Ransom admitted to perjury.

Yet, her false claims remain sealed from public view, leaving the public unaware of the full context.

Dersowitz stressed that full transparency is essential to ensure justice on all sides — to punish the guilty and protect the innocent.

“If there are falsely accused people, let the false accusers be punished,” he said.

This balanced approach is necessary to restore faith in the legal process.

 

Regarding the grand jury transcripts and Justice Department files, Dersowitz expressed skepticism about their revelatory potential.

He said these documents are narrowly focused on specific crimes and may not provide the broader picture the public seeks.

 

Instead, he pointed to the various civil lawsuits filed against Epstein and Maxwell as potentially more informative.

These cases contain extensive documentation that has been sealed primarily to protect victims’ privacy.

However, the sealed nature of these files means the public remains largely in the dark about their contents.

Dersowitz believes that releasing these files, combined with Maxwell’s testimony, could uncover 30 to 40 percent of the truth.

The remainder, he insists, will have to come from Maxwell herself.

 

The Epstein case has been deeply intertwined with politics and media coverage, often fueling partisan debates and conspiracy theories.

Dersowitz touched on how some political figures, including Donald Trump, have attempted to distance themselves from the scandal.

He noted that Trump’s name is mentioned multiple times in the files, but according to Dersowitz, nothing incriminating has emerged.

 

The ongoing media frenzy and public interest have kept the Epstein files in the spotlight, making it difficult for any involved party to move on.

Dersowitz’s call for immunity and testimony is an attempt to break this cycle by bringing the truth to light once and for all.

 

Dersowitz concluded by reflecting on the nature of the criminal justice system, where deals and immunity agreements are common tools to uncover truth and secure convictions.

He quoted legal expert Abby Hoffman, saying, “The only justice in the halls of justice takes place in the halls when you make deals.”

He urged lawmakers and prosecutors to consider a deal with Maxwell that balances justice with transparency, allowing her to complete her sentence in a reasonable timeframe while providing critical information.

 

The Jeffrey Epstein case remains one of the most complex and high-profile criminal investigations in recent history.

With Epstein dead and Maxwell serving time, the full truth still eludes the public.

Alan Dersowitz’s proposal to grant Maxwell immunity in exchange for her testimony offers a possible path forward.

 

Such a deal could unlock information about the network of individuals involved, clarify who is truly guilty, and ensure justice for victims while protecting the falsely accused.

It would also provide long-awaited transparency to a case shrouded in secrecy and speculation.

 

As the Epstein files continue to haunt political figures and captivate public attention, the question remains: will lawmakers take Dersowitz’s advice and make the deal that could finally bring closure to this dark chapter?.
