Republican lawmakers in the House have voted to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, aiming to force her testimony and expose details about Epstein’s criminal enterprise.
The move, led by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), intensifies pressure on the Department of Justice (DOJ) and signals a possible turning point in congressional efforts to uncover the truth.
Burchett has repeatedly pushed for transparency on Epstein-related matters and criticized the Trump administration for stonewalling access to key files.
“We just got to get to the bottom of this thing, folks,” Burchett said in a video posted on X. “It’s been four years, and we don’t need to tolerate this stuff anymore.”
Aware of the political risks, he added, “Ultimately, with all sincerity, I’m answering my Creator on this issue.”
The subpoena effort is supported by several high-profile Republicans, including House Oversight Chairman James Comer, along with Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
The Oversight Committee is now working with the DOJ and Bureau of Prisons to coordinate a deposition.
Maxwell is reportedly open to cooperating.
A source told the Daily Mail that “she would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” emphasizing that “no one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows.”
The source added that Maxwell wants to “tell the American public the truth.”
Currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors, Maxwell remains a central figure in the Epstein saga.
Lawmakers say her testimony—if given under oath—could illuminate the names, operations and enabling structures that protected Epstein’s enterprise for years.
Plans are underway for the deposition to be recorded and possibly made public, mirroring televised hearings held in other high-profile investigations.
That decision would rest with the committee once the deposition is secured, the Daily Mail notes.
Meanwhile, delays in the release of Epstein-related documents have frustrated members of Congress.
The House Rules Committee has repeatedly blocked floor action on disclosure measures, with some Republicans joining Democrats in the effort—stalling progress and fueling accusations of a cover-up.
To counter the slow-walking, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), which would require the DOJ to release Epstein documents within 30 days of passage.
The bill, which was previously highlighted by Resist the Mainstream, carves out exceptions for victim privacy, active investigations, and national security, but mandates a public explanation for any redaction.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has backed the push for transparency while voicing caution on protecting victims.
“He wants maximum transparency, but he’s also very insistent that we do not subject people who have already been victims of unspeakable crimes to further public scrutiny,” Johnson said on Tuesday, referencing the position of President Trump.
With growing support for both the subpoena and the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), Republicans are continuing their efforts to investigate Epstein’s network.
Should Maxwell testify before Congress, her statements could provide new information about the case and its wider implications
