Subpoena Cover Letter to Ghislaine Maxwell (Deposition Notice)

U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM SUBPOENA COVER LETTER TO GHISLAINE MAXWELL DATED JULY 23, 2025 This record is the cover letter transmitted by Chairman James Comer accompanying a congressional subpoena directed to Ghislaine Maxwell for testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The letter identifies the legal and procedural basis for the subpoena, referencing House Rules X and XI and the Committee's investigative jurisdiction over federal law-enforcement and transparency matters connected to Jeffrey Epstein records. The letter states that a House Oversight subcommittee voted on July 22, 2025, to authorize compulsory process. It then notifies Maxwell and her counsel that deposition testimony is required at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, where she is incarcerated. The communication sets the expected date and time window and explains that Committee counsel will conduct questioning under House deposition rules. The document also directs coordination through counsel regarding appearance logistics, document handling, and any privilege assertions that may be raised on the record. Consistent with congressional practice, the letter warns that failure to comply may be treated as noncompliance with a duly authorized subpoena and may trigger additional enforcement steps. Substantively, the Committee explains that it is seeking testimony concerning the handling and disclosure of Epstein-related federal records, contacts with associates, and decision-making around what information entered public channels. The letter frames the deposition as part of a broader legislative inquiry into transparency and potential statutory changes to records preservation, disclosure timelines, and oversight reporting duties. This item is a procedural congressional document rather than a court filing. Its significance is that it formalizes compulsory testimony from a central figure in the Epstein network and places that process under House committee rules.
