The House Oversight Committee indefinitely postponed the congressional deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, citing a pending Supreme Court petition in her criminal case.
In a letter sent Friday, Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) agreed to delay Maxwell’s previously planned Aug. 11 deposition following a request from her attorneys, who argued that testimony should not proceed until the high court rules on her appeal. That decision isn’t expected until just before the Supreme Court begins its next term in October, during its annual Sept. 29 conference.
