House Oversight Committee Subpoenas Epstein Associate for Deposition

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The saga surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein continues. Some of the President’s allies in congress voted to subpoena the Department of Justice for files on Epstein. Alongside that subpoena from a House Oversight subcommittee, they also have issued a subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell, who is Epstein’s associate serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking. We expect Maxwell to give a deposition to congressional members.  

Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial in a sex trafficking case. He is a convicted sex offender who ran with a high-profile crowd. The Justice Department has faced fierce scrutiny over their handling over their decision to close the Epstein investigation. Many of the President’s strongest allies calling for the Department to release files related to Epstein.  

It’s sometimes hard to find common ground here in the halls of the Capitol but this Epstein saga has united Democrats and Republicans to some degree. On Wednesday, a group of House Republicans crossed party lines to vote to issue subpoenas for files on Epstein and for Maxwell. We expect her to testify before Congress in about three weeks. 

“The Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have been very interested in this Epstein ordeal for for weeks,” said Rep. James Comer (R- KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. “I told Mike Johnson that our members wanted to pursue that so it’s not like there was any cover up from the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee because our guys really wanna know.” 

The President has tried to shift the attention away from Epstein drama but he has now recently promised to release all credible evidence about the Epstein case. However, there are some issues with that. A judge recently rejected a request by the administration to unseal transcripts from Epstein’s grand jury investigations. It now makes members, and the public, more curious about what Maxwell has to say in her testimony.
