Maxwell, the former associate of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bail-fund-praised-by-kamala-harris-has-twice-freed-the-same-rioter-he-was-just-charged-again\/\" title=\"Bail Fund Praised By Kamala Harris Has Twice Freed The Same Rioter.

Comer said Maxwell&#8217;s lawyers had indicated she might plead the Fifth, but the committee has secured the deposition date. The deposition is part of a broader Oversight investigation that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hillary-clinton-prepared-to-make-her-case-after-epstein-deposition-no-show\/\" title=\"Hillary Clinton &#039;prepared&#039; to make her case after ... no...show\">released multiple batches<\/a> of documents from Epstein&#8217;s estate and subpoenaed related records, and that has included interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr and ex-U.S.attorney Alex Acosta. Lawmakers say the inquiry continues despite Congress voting to release the full Epstein files last year; Democrats have accused the Trump governance of slow-walking the DOJ&#8217;s public release of some documents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Ghislaine Maxwell to be deposed by House Oversight Committee in Epstein inquiry<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2475376\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-oversight-committee\/\">House Oversight Committee<\/a> Chairman <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comer\/\">James Comer<\/a> (R-KY) announced Wednesday that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ghislaine-maxwell\/\">Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a>, the former girlfriend of convicted sex offender <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeffrey-epstein\/\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, will sit for a deposition next month. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I agree we need to hear from Ghislaine Maxwell,&rdquo; said Comer. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been trying to get her in for a deposition, her lawyers have been saying that she&rsquo;s going to plead the Fifth, but we have nailed down a date, Feb. 9 where Ghislaine Maxwell will be deposed by the committee.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4427137\/watch-live-mike-johnson-press-conference-partial-shutdown-deadline\/\">WATCH LIVE: House GOP holds press conference ahead of partial shutdown deadline<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4427155\/watch-live-nick-shirley-testifies-house-minnesota-fraud-reporting\/\">WATCH LIVE: Nick Shirley testifies to House on Minnesota fraud reporting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4426783\/congress-bill-cuts-ice-funding-body-cameras-amid-protests\/\">GOP plays ball with Democrats on ICE funding, body cameras for agents<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Comer made the announcement in the middle of a House Oversight Committee markup on a resolution to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt for refusing a similar request for deposed interviews. <\/p>\n<p>Maxwell took part in a multiday interview with a Justice Department senior official last year.
