(TNND) Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's associate and co-conspirator, is scheduled to appear virtually for her deposition on Monday in front of the House Oversight Committee after being convicted in 2021 with sex trafficking minors.
She is currently serving out her 20-year sentence at a Texas prison and is expected to plead the Fifth to avoid answering questions.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer issued a subpoena in July compelling Maxwell to originally testify in August as part of the committee's investigation into Epstein.
Maxwell's attorneys resisted the original date and conditions, requesting protections such as immunity but Comer refused and the deposition was postponed until after legal proceedings were resolved.
Congress believes the Epstein scandal exposed systematic failures and Maxwell may be one of the few people who can explain them. .....................
