Sixty three year old Maxwell is serving twenty 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: years in prison. The New York jury found her guilty 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one on five charges, including sex trafficking 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: of a minor and conspiracy.

Some reports claim Congress may 26 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: call on Maxwell to testify. Sources say she is open 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: to it.
