House Oversight Committee subpoena's Ghislaine Maxwell [View all]

The House oversight subcommittee has approved a motion to issue a subpoena for imprisoned Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell to testify before Congress.

The motion was offered by Republican congressman Tim Burchett, of Tennessee, during a hearing of the subcommittee on government operations. According to Axios, Burchett said he did not consult Donald Trump, who has been trying to put the controversy to bed, beforehand.

Oversight committee chair, Republican congressman James Comer of Kentucky, directed Burchett to introduce the motion and will seek to subpoena Maxwell “as expeditiously as possible”, a committee spokesperson told Axios.

Comer told Axios he also did not speak with Trump or House speaker Mike Johnson about the matter.
