U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenas Ghislaine Maxwell for deposition
House Oversight Chair James Comer has subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein's former associate Ghislaine Maxwell for a deposition. Maxwell is seen here in October 2016 in New York City. (Sylvain Gaboury//File via CNN Newsource) House Oversight Chair James Comer has subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein's former associate Ghislaine Maxwell for a deposition. The committee said in a release that the deposition will take place at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, on Aug. 11. 'The Department of Justice is cooperating and will help facilitate the deposition at the prison,' a statement from the committee said. Comer told CNN's Manu Raju on Tuesday that it was an open question whether his panel would begin a full-blown probe into the Epstein scandal, saying: 'We'll see what she has to say.' But he said that Republicans wanted more information released by the Justice Department regardless of where his panel's inquiry goes. The move to issue the subpoena comes as many congressional Republicans have called for more transparency over the Epstein case. This story is breaking and will be updated with additional information.

Florida judge denies Trump administration's bid to unseal Epstein grand jury documents
A judge on Wednesday rejected a Trump administration request to unseal transcripts from grand jury investigations of Jeffrey Epstein years ago in Florida, though a similar records request is pending in New York. U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg in West Palm Beach said the request to release grand jury documents from 2005 and 2007 did not meet any of the extraordinary exceptions under federal law that could make them public. The Justice Department last week asked the judge to release records to quell a storm among supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump who believe there was a conspiracy to protect Epstein's clients, conceal videos of crimes being committed and other evidence. In 2008, Epstein cut a deal with federal prosecutors in Florida, pleading guilty to state charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. That allowed him to avoid federal prosecution and a possible life sentence. Instead he served 13 months in a work-release program. He was required to make payments to victims and register as a sex offender. The wealthy financier later was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was charged with helping him abuse teenage girls. Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in New York City about a month after he was arrested. Investigators concluded he killed himself. Maxwell later was convicted at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The case attracted attention because of Epstein and Maxwell's links to famous people, including royals, presidents and billionaires. It also led to some of the biggest conspiracy theories animating Trump's base. Are Trump's social posts an Epstein distraction tactic? 2 days ago U.S. President Donald Trump has made a series of controversial social media posts, with some political scientists saying it's likely a tactic to divert attention away from the so-called Epstein files.
