From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Have you ever facilitated the sexual abuse of any minor or adult woman by Mr. Epstein?

I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to silence.

As global fallout continues to grow over the Jeffrey Epstein files, his co-conspirator

Gilane Maxwell refused to answer questions during a closed-door

virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee. She says if Trump grants her clemency,

she will exonerate him. We'll go to London where British Prime Minister Kirstarmer

is facing calls to resign for appointing Peter Mendelssohn to be U.S. ambassador, despite his ties to Epstein.

Then to the Children of Dili.

Hello, my name is Ariana V. I'm 14 years old and I'm from Honduras.

I've been detained for 45 days and I have never felt so much fear to go to a place

as I feel here. We'll speak to a ProPublica reporter who managed to get inside a Texas detention

center to talk with children being held there. We'll also speak to Democratic Congress member

Joaquin Castro, who recently visited Dili and helped

free five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from Dili.

There is a two-month-old baby that's over there.

Two-month-old baby that's in there right now.

So there were many children, just like Miam.

And so we demand their release.

All that and more, coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, the War and Peace Report.
