Ghislaine Maxwell to Testify Before House Oversight Committee Next Month
House Oversight Chairman James Comer confirmed Wednesday that Ghislaine Maxwell will be deposed by the committee on February 9 in connection with its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
POLITICO reports that Comer revealed the development during a committee session addressing potential contempt action against Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The action is currently proceeding after both declined to appear for previously scheduled depositions tied to the Epstein inquiry.
Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected…

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal sentence in Texas for her role in procuring women for Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation, had not previously been expected to cooperate.
Comer had earlier indicated that the committee would not pursue an in-person interview, and Maxwell’s attorneys have said she would invoke the Fifth Amendment if questioned.
The deposition will be conducted remotely.
The Oversight Committee first issued a subpoena to Maxwell last July during the early stages of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, who is a British national, was convicted in federal court and sentenced in 2022 for assisting Epstein in the sexual exploitation and trafficking of underage girls.
She has consistently denied personally abusing victims and has claimed she was unfairly blamed following Epstein’s death in custody in 2019.
Meanwhile, both Bill and Hillary have signed an open letter to Comer in which they outlined their reasons for refusing to testify:
You have asked what we know. To answer your inquiry, we are providing you with the same or more than seven of the other eight individuals you subpoenaed regarding the handling of the Epstein investigations and prosecutions, which may be why you have not publicly released their written statements.
We expect you will say it is not enough. We expect you’ll reject it. You may even set out an empty chair or stand in front of the cameras and outright dismiss what we have provided. We expect you will direct your committee to seek to hold us in contempt. You may even release irrelevant, decades-old photos that you hope will embarrass us.
You will say your caucus, and the Speaker and the President are behind you 100%. We hope, perhaps in vain, that they will not allow you to singlehandedly hijack the Congress by unilaterally making this decision for your colleagues, your party, and our country.
You will say it is not our decision to make. But we have made it. Now you have to make yours.
