Comer says he will postpone Ghislaine Maxwell testimony

House Oversight Chair James Comer indefinitely postponed Ghislaine Maxwell’s August 11, 2025, deposition on August 1, citing her Supreme Court appeal. Maxwell’s attorneys argue her 2021 sex trafficking conviction breaches Epstein’s 2007 plea deal. They demanded immunity and advance questions, which Comer rejected.

“Your testimony is vital” to investigating Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement and death, Comer wrote. The committee refused congressional immunity or prior access to questions but offered good-faith negotiations. The delay, awaiting the court’s October ruling, blocks scrutiny of Epstein’s case. Maxwell’s conditions and the postponement deepen doubts about transparency in the probe.
