House Oversight Chair James Comer sent a subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein associate and convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, compelling her testimony before Congress on Aug. 11.
The Kentucky Republican said the Department of Justice was cooperating with the request and would help facilitate the interview at a Tallahassee federal prison next month. Comer told reporters on Tuesday that he would seek to interview Maxwell, after an Oversight subcommittee voted in favor of the subpoena.
The Justice Department has also made recent moves to interview Maxwell, even amid aspersions around her trustworthiness. Speaker Mike Johnson questioned, “can we trust what she’s going to say?”
