Mary-Kate Olsen to Feds: ‘Let’s Make a Deal’

Mary-Kate Olsen has refused to be interviewed by federal investigators probing the accidental drug death of her close friend Heath Ledger unless she receives immunity from prosecution.

Olsen’s lawyer has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by the feds to question Olsen, who was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger’s body in his SoHo apartment in January.

Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel the funky “Full House” actress to tell them whatever she knows about the “Dark Knight” star’s behavior, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning, according to sources.

Probers have interviewed everyone connected to Ledger and his death, including his doctors, the masseuse, bodyguards, housekeepers, business associates and even the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his “Brokeback Mountain” co-star Michelle Williams.

The source explains that Olsen would be the final witness they need to conclude their investigation into where he got his drugs and medicines.

Just when you think it’s all over and Heath can finally rest — I wonder why Mary-Kate is seeking immunity — what could she possibly say that would justify her own prosecution?
