House GOP offers to postpone Ghislaine Maxwell deposition as Supreme Court weighs her appeal

Source: CBS News

“The chair of the House Oversight Committee said Friday he’s willing to postpone convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition until the Supreme Court reviews the appeal she filed in her criminal case. Maxwell, a longtime friend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted in 2021 on five federal counts related to sex trafficking. The committee, which is chaired by Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, subpoenaed Maxwell last week, ordering her to sit for a deposition on Aug. 11. The move came as the Trump administration faces bipartisan scrutiny over its handling of the Epstein case, with lawmakers calling on the government to release records on Maxwell and Epstein. … Maxwell was transferred from a low-security prison in Florida to a smaller, all-female minimum-security facility in Texas, CBS News learned Friday. No reason was given for the move, which outraged some Epstein and Maxwell accusers.” (08/01/25)
