Ghislaine Maxwell To Appear Before Congress In Epstein Investigation
Ghislaine Maxwell agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee in February.
Maxwell is expected to testify Feb. 9 as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the activities of Jeffrey Epstein, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed during a series of contempt resolutions against former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Epstein’s former confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking alongside Epstein — who died in 2019 before going to trial on federal sex trafficking charges — will provide her testimony virtually, an oversight committee spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller.
“Her lawyers have made it clear that she is going to plead the Fifth,” Comer told Fox News Digital. “I hope she changes her mind, because I want to hear from her.”
The spokesperson told the caller that Maxwell should “take the fifth” when testifying before the committee.

In a letter submitted to the committee on Tuesday, Maxwell’s lawyers made clear that she would not comply with the deposition, according to a BBC report.
“Put simply, proceeding under these circumstances would serve no purpose other than pure political theater and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars,” his lawyers wrote. “The Committee would get no testimony, no answers and no new facts.”

Maxwell’s name resurfaced after the July 6, 2025 release of a two-page memo from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which stated that there was no evidence that Epstein maintained a “client list. Officials concluded that he committed suicide.” (RELATED: What’s going on in the world with Ghislaine Maxwell?)
She was convicted in 2021 and is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence after being convicted of recruiting and trafficking underage girls to be sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein.
The committee denied her request for immunity in July and subpoenaed her for a scheduled deposition in August, according to an NBC report.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced plans to question Maxwell on July 22 about her involvement in the Epstein case.
A week after her two-day interview with the DOJ, Maxwell was quietly transferred on July 31 from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee, a low-security women’s prison in Florida, to the Bryan Federal Prison Camp, a minimum-security facility in Texas housing more than 600 inmates.
