From The Hill: A House Oversight subcommittee on Tuesday voted to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex offender and associate of the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, as the Republicans on Capitol Hill push for the publication of more information related to Epstein’s case.
During an unrelated subcommittee hearing, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) moved to direct the panel to authorize and issue a subpoena for Maxwell to appear for a deposition, which passed by voice vote.
“Recently, Rep. Burchett sent a letter to Chairman Comer requesting a subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony. In response, Chairman Comer directed Rep. Burchett to introduce a motion to subpoena Ms. Maxwell for a deposition, allowing the Committee to formally consider whether to proceed,” a spokesperson for the committee said in a statement.
“The Committee will seek to subpoena Ms. Maxwell as expeditiously as possible. Since Ms. Maxwell is in federal prison, the Committee will work with the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons to identify a date when Committee can depose her.”
Burchett’s move follows Republican outcry over the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.
Democrats celebrated the bipartisan move.
“Oversight Democrats just unanimously voted to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s partner,” House Oversight Democrats said in a post on X.“This is progress. We will not stop fighting until the Epstein Files are released. Trump and Bondi must stop blocking the American people from the truth.”
