Washington — The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, to sit for a deposition as fallout over the Trump administration's handling of the case intensifies.

The facts and circumstances surrounding both your and Mr. Epstein’s cases have received immense public interest and scrutiny,” Rep. James Comer said Wednesday.

Ghislaine Maxwell subpoenaed by GOP-led House committee while federal judges deny requests to release grand jury transcripts in the Epstein case amid transparency concerns.
