Alan Dershowitz also said the convicted sex trafficker should be granted immunity to speak about her relationship with Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer thinks Ghislaine Maxwell should have her 20-year prison sentence commuted—and be given immunity to testify before Congress about the late financier. 'Ghislaine Maxwell is basically serving the sentence that Epstein would have gotten,' lawyer Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax's Sunday Agenda on Sunday. 'She should never be in jail for 20 years. What should happen is, she should be free,' Dershowitz continued. 'She should have her sentence commuted. She should then be called in front of Congress. Have Congress give her total immunity, and then she can tell everything she knows.'
