Letter Requesting Interview with Ted Waitt

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM LETTER REQUESTING A TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW: TED WAITT DATED MARCH 3, 2026 This letter, transmitted electronically and signed by Chairman James Comer, requests an in-person transcribed interview with Theodore "Ted" W. Waitt on April 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET in Washington, D.C. The document was released as part of a set of seven witness requests tied to the Committee's review of federal handling of Epstein and Maxwell matters. The body of the letter identifies five investigative pillars: possible mismanagement of federal investigations; circumstances and follow-up investigations regarding Epstein's death; operation of trafficking rings and federal prevention/enforcement pathways; ways Epstein and Maxwell may have sought favor or influence; and potential ethics violations involving elected officials. The Committee says that, based on public reporting, DOJ-released records, and documents already obtained by the Committee, Mr. Waitt may have information that can assist the investigation. The letter cites House Rule X authority for oversight investigations and directs the recipient to coordinate interview logistics with Majority staff via committee contact information. Ranking Member Robert Garcia is listed in copy, preserving formal committee notice practice. As an archival record, the document is significant because it is a dated, primary-source witness request with a specific testimony appointment, linking transparency demands to concrete investigative process steps.
