The House Oversight Committee is preparing for a rare and highly sensitive deposition next month as lawmakers press deeper into matters tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the New York Post, Rep. James Comer, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the committee, announced Wednesday that Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime associate and convicted accomplice — is scheduled to sit for a deposition on Feb. 9.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence after she was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually exploit and traffic underage girls.
Comer disclosed the planned deposition during a committee markup focused on an entirely separate but politically charged issue: contempt of Congress resolutions targeting former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The announcement came as Republicans accused both Clintons of defying lawful congressional subpoenas. According to Comer, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has complied with requests to appear before the committee, prompting GOP members to advance contempt proceedings.
