Republican lawmakers escalated efforts to bring convicted sex-trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell before Congress to testify about the Jeffrey Epstein network and any subsequent cover-up. Senator Mike Lee said Maxwell’s testimony "would answer a lot of questions" and satisfy public demands for clarity. Representative Tim Burchett sent a formal request to House Oversight Chair James Comer asking that any procedural hurdles be removed so Maxwell can appear, and warned that a subpoena could follow if she is not invited voluntarily. Several conservative members echoed Burchett’s call on social media. Comer separately urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue prosecutions against individuals linked to Epstein, saying the public wants accountability. The coordinated pressure marks the most concerted push yet by congressional Republicans to extract new information from Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal sentence.
