"But look, initially she had asked that the oversight committee grant immunity, and when we met with the survivors of Epstein, it was pretty clear, according to the survivors and, you know, we had 20-some members in that meeting that Maxwell was a very bad person and she committed a lot of crimes. Comer continued: And it was the intent, in my opinion, when we left that meeting, in a bipartisan manner that we would not grant immunity."
"I think it's great that the Department of Justice has has let members of Congress come in and look at all the redacted versions of the documents. Attorney General [Pam] Bondi is doing what she was supposed to do via our subpoena first on the House Oversight Committee, as well as the Epstein Transparency Act. So, I think we're finally going to get some answers,"
"House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) was pressed by reporters Monday shortly after Epstein conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the fifth at her closed-door congressional hearing. Comer met with reporters in a congressional corridor, where a reporter asked, Ghislaine Maxwell, we know from the Epstein files, didn't tell the truth. She got moved to an open prison, now she's asking for clemency to speak at all. Was it a mistake to move her to that prison? Should she be moved back?"
James Comer said he did not know the rationale for moving Ghislaine Maxwell between facilities. He noted Maxwell had previously requested immunity from the oversight committee. Comer said survivors and committee members viewed Maxwell as culpable, and the bipartisan intent after meeting with survivors was not to grant immunity. Comer said he personally opposes clemency or immunity for Maxwell. He encouraged continued review of documents and praised the Department of Justice for permitting congressional review of redacted records. Comer said Attorney General Pam Bondi is complying with subpoenas and the Epstein Transparency Act, and that the goal remains achieving answers and justice for survivors.
