House Oversight Committee to Subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell in Resurfaced Epstein Probe

WASHINGTON – The House Oversight Committee is moving to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, a committee spokesperson confirmed. The move comes as the Trump administration faces renewed pressure, including from its allies, to release additional files related to Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
On Tuesday, a House Oversight subcommittee unanimously approved a motion directing Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to issue the subpoena for Maxwell. The motion was introduced by Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who had requested Maxwell’s testimony. The Committee intends to work with the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to schedule a deposition, given Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Florida following her 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges.
Earlier the same day, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced plans to contact Maxwell’s counsel regarding her willingness to speak with Justice Department prosecutors. This follows a statement on X by Attorney General Pam Bondi, quoting President Trump: “President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence.” The statement added that if Maxwell possesses “information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.” Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, confirmed discussions with the government, stating Maxwell would “always testify truthfully.” President Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, expressed support for the initiative, calling it “appropriate.”
