US Congress Will Subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell to Testify about Jeffrey Epstein amid Political Firestorm

THE GUARDIAN: Republican introduces motion to compel Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein’s currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, to testify

Congress will subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned sex trafficker who was a close associate of the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to testify amid a political firestorm over the Trump administration’s decision not to release its remaining Epstein files.

The Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett introduced a motion to compel Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence in a Florida prison for crimes related to the Epstein case, to testify before the House oversight committee.

The move appears to skirt an announcement early on Tuesday that officials from the Department of Justice are also planning to meet with Maxwell. » | Edward Helmore in New York | Wednesday, July 23, 2025
