Unless it's corroborated by other lists, other evidence, other testimony given at an earlier time.

... a name she would be wise to leave out - and a name she would be wise to include. One starts with a T and the other starts with a C.

7. Not quite correct - she was asked about 100 different people. She didn't come up with the names herself.

The Daily Beast, which the OP is based on:

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said after the meetings that his client was asked about maybe “100 different people” in connection with Epstein. He said she did not hold anything back.

Markus also said that she was asked about “every possible thing you could imagine–everything."

Other reporting on this:

Ghislaine Maxwell answered justice department questions 'about 100 different people', her lawyer says

Ghislaine Maxwell answered "every single question" from the US justice department, her lawyer has said.

The imprisoned former girlfriend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein answered questions "about 100 different people" during one-and-a-half days of questioning in the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida, her attorney David Oscar Markus said.

Mr Markus said Maxwell "answered those questions honestly, truthfully, to the best of her ability" when she met with deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.

So the 100 names came from the DoJ (odd, given they had recently claimed "there is no client list" ). We don't know if she had something to say about all of them, of course; the claim (though given it's her, and her incentive to lie about some people, you can't trust her at all) is that she answered "honestly, truthfully, to the best of her ability" (no, I can't avoid a sarcastic 'hah!' when typing that).

Bet they’ll try to force her to testify in Congress.

If she doesn’t I bet that means she had so much evidence against Trump she was able to leverage a total get-out-of-jail-free card.
