众议院监督委员会议员预计将于周一与吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦尔面对面会面。麦克斯韦尔是杰弗里·爱泼斯坦臭名昭著的同谋，爱泼斯坦因与已故亿万富翁恋童癖者合谋而被判处20年监禁。
麦克斯韦尔目前正在得克萨斯州监狱服刑，预计将于美国东部时间上午10点通过视频连线方式出庭面对国会小组委员会。她的证词将不公开进行，除非委员会事后决定公开视频录像，否则公众无法观看。
此次会面预计为时简短，麦克斯韦尔可能会援引第五修正案拒绝回答问题。

众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默（R-肯塔基州）宣布，议员们将在一次会议上听取麦克斯韦尔的证词，该会议旨在调查前总统比尔·克林顿和前国务卿希拉里·克林顿拒绝就爱泼斯坦调查作证的行为是否构成藐视国会。
“我们一直试图让她接受证词询问。我们的律师表示她可能会援引第五修正案，但我们已经确定了日期——2月9日，吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦尔将接受本委员会的证词询问。”科默上月表示。
然而，在克林顿夫妇的律师同意在众议院全体议员预计投票将二人移交司法部（DOJ）追究刑事责任的前几天亲自前往国会山作证后，针对克林顿夫妇的藐视国会诉讼程序陷入停滞。
科默团队与麦克斯韦尔的律师就其作证日期进行了数月的拉锯。由于麦克斯韦尔的律师请求推迟至最高法院决定是否受理其上诉后再安排，科默同意将原定于8月的证词询问推迟。最高法院于10月驳回了麦克斯韦尔的上诉。

Ghislaine Maxwell to appear before House Oversight Committee lawmakers for Epstein probe deposition
By Elizabeth Elkind | Fox News
Published February 9, 2026 7:31am EST
Lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee are expected to be face-to-face with Ghislaine Maxwell Monday, the notorious accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring with the late billionaire pedophile.
Maxwell is due to appear virtually before the congressional panel at 10 a.m. ET while currently serving out her sentence at a Texas prison. Her deposition will be behind closed doors, meaning it will not be viewed publicly unless the committee chooses to release video footage after the fact.
It’s likely to be a brief engagement, with Maxwell expected to plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., announced lawmakers would hear from Maxwell during a meeting on holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear for his Epstein probe.
“We’ve been trying to get her in for a deposition. Our lawyers have been saying that she’s going to plead the Fifth, but we have nailed down a date, Feb. 9, where Ghislaine Maxwell will be deposed by this committee,” Comer said last month.
Contempt proceedings against the Clintons stalled, however, after they agreed via their attorneys to appear in person on Capitol Hill just days before the full House of Representatives was expected to vote on referring the pair to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal charges.

Comer’s team had been in a back-and-forth with Maxwell’s attorney for months trying to nail down a date for her to speak to committee lawyers.
He agreed to delay her previous planned deposition in August after her lawyer asked him to wait until after the Supreme Court decided whether it would hear her appeal. The Supreme Court turned down Maxwell’s case in October.

The DOJ said at the time of her sentencing that Maxwell “enticed and groomed minor girls to be abused in multiple ways.”

Her deposition is part of the House Oversight Committee’s months-long probe into how the government handled Epstein’s case.
