The interview, set for July 20, was requested by Committee Chairman James Comer, who previously invited Dershowitz to testify about Epstein\u2019s files. Dershowitz has indicated he is willing to testify \u201cabout everything\u201d related to epstein, perhaps in a public videotaped session, though no official date has been confirmed. <\/p>\n<p>Previously, Dershowitz served as Epstein\u2019s attorney and helped negotiate a 2008 plea deal for Epstein, who died in 2019 while <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >awaiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ghislaine-maxwell-pleads-not-guilty-to-federal-sex-trafficking-charges\/\" title=\"Ghislaine Maxwell pleads not guilty to federal ...\">federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ghislaine-maxwell-now-accusing-prison-guard-of-abuse\/\" title=\"Ghislaine Maxwell Now Accusing Prison Guard Of Abuse\">sex trafficking charges<\/a><\/a><\/a>.

The committee will release the transcript and video later, as has been the case for other witnesses who have testified on Epstein in recent months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dershowitz has not yet made a public statement confirming his attendance, nor has the House oversight committee announced the interview date.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dershowitz previously served as Epstein\u2019s attorney and helped negotiate a 2008 plea deal that let his client plead guilty to lesser charges in Florida rather than federal sex trafficking charges. Epstein died in August 2019 while awaiting federal trial on sex trafficking charges. One month before Epstein\u2019s death, Dershowitz said he had no current legal or personal relationship with the disgraced financier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virginia Giuffre, the late Epstein victim, once accused Dershowitz of sexually abusing her before retracting her claim in 2022. She died by suicide last year. Dershowitz denied the sexual assault allegations and was never charged with wrongdoing related to Epstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4614531\/vance-worried-taping-situation-room-discussions-epstein\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4614531\/vance-worried-taping-situation-room-discussions-epstein\/\">VANCE SAYS HE\u2019S WORRIED ABOUT POTENTIAL TAPING OF SITUATION ROOM DISCUSSIONS ABOUT EPSTEIN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have nothing to hide,\u201d he told the <em>Harvard Crimson<\/em> in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecrimson.com\/article\/2026\/6\/13\/dershowitz-comer-house-testimony\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.thecrimson.com\/article\/2026\/6\/13\/dershowitz-comer-house-testimony\/\">recent interview<\/a>. \u201cI did nothing wrong.
