James Comer (R-K), chairman of the House Oversite and Government Reform Committee, agreed to a request to Ghislane Maxwell on Friday, until the Supreme Court delayed submitting after considering his petition to overturn his sentence for sexual trafficking.
However, Comer rejected requests from a lawyer for Maxwell, which is a long -time associate of the heavenly Jeffrey Epstein, to provide his immunity or send his questions in advance.
According to the proposal that received bipartisan support in the committee last month, Comer had submitted Maxwell for a statement to be held on August 11 at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Talhasi – although she was – although she was – although she was.Went silentlyBryan, Federal Jail Camp (FPC) in Texas, was confirmed by Bryan, a Bureau of Prince Officer on Friday.
Commer said in a letter to Maxwell on Friday, “Your testimony is important for the efforts of the committee about Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including the 2007 non-existence agreement and the circumstances around the death of Shri Epstein.” “These investigative efforts can be used to inform the potential law to improve federal efforts to deal with sexual trafficking and to improve the use of non-ex-other agreements and/or petition agreements in sex-crime investigation.”
Maxwell’s Attorney Attorney David Oscar Marcus Wrote to the committee on Monday Demand to delay the interview by the Supreme Court until after weighing the petition of Maxwell.
The Cummer agreed to the delay: “On July 30, the US Supreme Court noticed your petition for the Rit of Certificate will be considered at its conference on September 29. In the light of this notice, the committee is ready to delay your statement by a date after a date,” he wrote.
The Cummer then rejected the immune request.
“The committee is not ready to provide you the immune of the Congress for 18 USC of 6005 at this time. Also, while the committee is not ready to send you questions in advance, the committee will continue its long -running practice of engaging in clear and detailed discussion about scopping,” Comer wrote.
In his appeal to the Supreme Court, Maxwell argues that his sentence violates a non -profit agreement signed with federal prosecutors in 2007. The lower courts earlier ruled that the agreement implemented only to Florida in the southern district and not in New York district where Maxwell was sentenced.
Maxwell was sitting last week for a two -day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanches.
Marcus, Maxwell’s lawyer, Said It was a “entirely, comprehensive interview” and that “no person and any subject was off-lymph,” adding: “The truth would be revealed.”
