Letter Requesting Interview with Doug Band

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM LETTER REQUESTING A TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW: DOUG BAND DATED MARCH 3, 2026 This one-page committee letter, transmitted electronically and signed by Chairman James Comer, requests that Douglas J. Band appear for an in-person transcribed interview in Washington, D.C. The request is framed as part of the Committee's ongoing review of federal handling of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell matters. The letter identifies five oversight subjects that the Committee says it is examining: possible mismanagement of the federal investigation; circumstances and subsequent investigations of Epstein's death; operation of sex-trafficking rings and federal responses; methods used by Epstein and Maxwell to cultivate influence; and potential ethics-rule violations involving elected officials. It states that public reporting, documents released by DOJ, and records obtained by the Committee indicate Mr. Band may have information relevant to those lines of inquiry. The document sets a specific interview schedule and directs Mr. Band to coordinate with House Oversight majority staff. It cites House Rule X authority, emphasizing that the Committee has broad power to investigate "any matter" at "any time." The letter also copies Ranking Member Robert Garcia, signaling that the request is entered as official committee business. For archive purposes, the letter is a primary congressional source showing how the Committee transitioned from broad records collection to targeted witness interviews in 2026.
