House Oversight to depose Ghislaine Maxwell

SUMMARY

Ghislaine Maxwell will testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on February 9. This was announced by Committee Chair James Comer during a discussion about contempt measures for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who did not comply with subpoenas.

Comer had previously stated he wouldn’t send staff to interview Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking scheme. Maxwell's legal team plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights during questioning.

The deposition is expected to occur virtually.
