The House Oversight Committee has moved to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell for testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence, could be deposed with DOJ and prison bureau cooperation.
The House Oversight Committee will move “as expeditiously as possible” to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex trafficker and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, a committee spokesperson said Tuesday.
The move follows a unanimous vote by a House Oversight subcommittee, where only four members were present, to authorize Chair James Comer to issue the subpoena.
“The Committee will seek to subpoena Ms. Maxwell as expeditiously as possible,” the spokesperson said, adding that coordination with the Justice Department and Bureau of Prisons is underway.
Maxwell, convicted in 2021, is serving a 20-year sentence in Florida. She was found guilty of recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he would reach out to Maxwell’s counsel to explore her willingness to cooperate.
“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,” Blanche said.
Maxwell’s attorney confirmed discussions with the government, saying, “Ghislaine will always testify truthfully.”
Asked about the development, Trump said, “It sounds appropriate to do.”
