The former accomplice and girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein is looking to delay her deposition before a House Oversight Committee, Fox News has learned.
Ghislaine Maxwell was slapped with a subpoena to testify in front of Congress last week, as lawmakers are looking to pull back the curtain on the scope of Epstein’s sex crimes.
However, she is now attempting to delay her Aug. 11 deposition.
“It is not geographically limited to the Southern District of Florida, it is not conditioned on the co-conspirators being known by the government at the time, it does not depend on what any particular government attorney may have had in his or her head about who might be a co-conspirator, and it contains no other caveat or exception. This should be the end of the discussion,” the brief said.
The request for a later date comes after Maxwell sat down for nearly two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche at a Florida courthouse last week.
Maxwell is currently being held in a federal prison in Tallahassee after being sentenced to 20 years behind bars for her role in procuring young girls for Epstein to sexually abuse.
Maxwell’s attorneys and the House Oversight Committee did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
