Oversight chair schedules Epstein hearing for Tuesday
Chairman James Comer announced Sunday that the House Oversight Committee will hold a private and bipartisan meeting with victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s abuse on Tuesday.
“The Committee is in contact with Epstein survivors and a private, bipartisan Oversight Committee Member Meeting with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell’s crimes will be held on Tuesday, September 2,” Comer said in a release.
The survivors are also slated to join a news conference on Capitol Hill with Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna on Wednesday.

Additionally, Comer sent a letter on Sunday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent requesting “relevant suspicious activity reports (SARs) to assist the Committee’s oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws, specifically in connection with the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
“It is essential that Treasury produce to the Committee certain SARs to assist the Committee’s oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws generally and specifically its handling of the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell. This oversight will inform legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex crime investigation,” Comer said.
The committee wants the information from Treasury on or before Sept. 15.
