Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Ghislaine Maxwell attended her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010 as just one other person’s guest, after Clinton testified behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee on February 26 about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.Speaking to reporters at a news conference after the hearing, Clinton said Maxwell was someone’s guest at the wedding, but did not reveal who that person was. Epstein’s imprisoned associate, Maxwell, died by suicide in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges, Newsweek reported.
