Congress has decided to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in sex trafficking related to Jeffrey Epstein. Representative Tim Burchett introduced a motion to compel her testimony before the House oversight committee, amidst increasing frustration regarding the Trump administration's reluctance to release remaining Epstein files. The Epstein controversy continues to stir dissent among both Democrats and Republicans, with calls for more transparency and accountability growing louder. The Republican-led House has also taken steps to avoid dealing with the Epstein-related votes, indicative of the controversy's polarizing impact on politics.
This move appears to skirt an announcement early Tuesday that officials from the Department of Justice are also planning to meet with Maxwell.
We've just got to get to the bottom of this thing, folks. It's four years and we don't need to tolerate this stuff any more.
The Epstein issue has plagued the Trump administration as the president's own supporters buck him and clamor for more information.
The Republican-led House of Representatives voted to start its summer holiday early in order to avoid Epstein-related votes planned for Thursday.
