The House Oversight Committee unanimously approved a subpoena for the convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in a surprise move Tuesday morning.
The powerful committee will seek to subpoena the longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate for a deposition following Republican Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett introducing a motion that was approved by voice vote. The move follows Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing she requested a meeting with Maxwell on Tuesday to press her for additional information related to the deceased sex predator.
Burchett has publicly called on the administration to release the full collection of documents related to the Epstein case. He is cosponsoring Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna’s resolution that would compel the Department of Justice to publish materials regarding Epstein and Maxwell in their possession.
The vote comes after the Tennessee Republican sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to request a subpoena for the panel to depose Maxwell. Comer and the lead Democrat on the panel, Robert Garcia of California, backed Burchett’s subpoena motion.
“It’s about to get real,” Burchett posted on the social media platform X following the oversight panel approving the subpoena motion. “I just did this.”

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence in a federal prison in Florida after being found guilty in 2021 for her involvement in Epstein’s crimes. A House Oversight Committee spokeswoman told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the committee will work with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Prisons to find a date when the committee can depose Maxwell.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday morning that he intends to meet with Maxwell “in the coming days” to discuss potential “credible evidence” regarding Epstein.
“I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully,” an attorney for Maxwell said in a statement regarding the potential meeting with the DOJ. “We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”
House Republican leadership announced Tuesday they would begin the August recess a day early following their efforts to deny Democrats’ opportunities to force votes that would compel the Trump administration to release records related to Epstein and Maxwell.
