The top ranking official of the GOP-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has subpoenaed a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein as the battle for the release of information regarding the deceased pedophile’s alleged clients rages. 

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the committee, announced Wednesday that convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been subpoenaed for a deposition in the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is serving a 20-year sentence. 

The deposition is scheduled for Aug. 11.

A separate federal judge on Wednesday also denied a Trump administration request to release grand jury transcripts in the investigation and eventual indictment of Epstein.

The flurry of moves comes amid a call for greater transparency into Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring after the Trump administration announced that an Epstein “client list” did not exist, and attempted to close the matter, causing an uproar from his supporters. 

On Feb. 21, Attorney General Pamela Bondi told “America Reports” host John Roberts that she was in possession of the “client list.”

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” she said at the time. “That’s been a directive by President Trump.”

Maxwell was found guilty of five federal charges in 2021, including sex trafficking of a minor. 

Epstein was indicted by a New York grand jury in 2019 on sex trafficking charges, but died by suicide in his jail cell shortly thereafter.
