Ghislaine Maxwell To Appear Before Congress In Epstein Investigation

Ghislaine Maxwell has agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee in February.

Maxwell is set to testify on Feb. 9 as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed during a markup of contempt resolutions against former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The former Epstein confidant, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking alongside Epstein — who died in 2019 before facing trial on federal sex-trafficking charges — will provide her testimony virtually, a Oversight Committee spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller.

“Her lawyers have made it clear that she’s 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 is expected to “take the fifth” during the deposition before the committee.

In a letter submitted to the committee Tuesday, Maxwell’s attorneys made clear she would not comply with the deposition, according to a BBC report.

“Put plainly, proceeding under these circumstances would serve no other purpose than pure political theater and a complete waste of taxpayer monies,” her lawyers wrote. “The Committee would obtain no testimony, no answers, and no new facts.”

Maxwell’s name resurfaced following the July 6, 2025, release of a two-page memo from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which stated there was no evidence Epstein maintained a “client list. Officials concluded he died by suicide.  (RELATED: What In The World Is Going On 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 abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

The committee denied her request for immunity in July and subpoenaed her for a deposition scheduled in August, according to a 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 DOJ interview, Maxwell was quietly transferred on July 31 from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee, a low-security women’s prison in Florida, to Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a minimum-security Texas facility housing over 600 female inmates.
