Comer says he will postpone Ghislaine Maxwell testimony [View all]
The scheduled congressional deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell, a co-conspirator of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is indefinitely postponed, House Oversight Chair James Comer said Friday.
In a letter to Maxwell, Comer said he would agree to delay the meeting after her lawyers earlier this week requested a postponement in the planned Aug. 11 testimony citing a pending Supreme Court petition regarding her case.
Maxwell’s attorneys also made a number of requests in order to facilitate her cooperation with the Oversight panel’s questioning — some of which Comer rejected outright Friday.
Comer said his committee was “willing to continue to engage in good faith negotiations” but would not grant her congressional immunity, which her lawyers had requested. The committee, he added, also would not send her team the questions in advance, another demand of Maxwell’s lawyers.
