Searing Dem Letter Asks Ghislaine Maxwell If She or Epstein Procured 'Underage Girls to President Trump'

Source: MEDIAite

Feb 8th, 2026, 8:02 pm


Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) sent a searing letter in which he stated his intention to ask Ghislaine Maxwell if she or Jeffrey Epstein ever procured “underage girls” for President Donald Trump.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-TN) announced last month that Maxwell would be deposed by the committee, and that deposition is scheduled for this Monday. But on Sunday, Maxwell’s attorney made clear she intends to plead the Fifth Amendment.

Congressman Khanna, the ranking member on the committee, responded with a searing letter to Comer listing the questions he planned to ask Maxwell — including a few loaded ones about Trump:

4. It is well documented that you, President Donald Trump, and Mr. Epstein had a social relationship, and there are several photographs of you together. Did you or Mr. Epstein ever arrange, facilitate, or provide access to underage girls to President Trump?

5. After President Trump publicly stated that he would “look at” a possible pardon for you, did you or anyone acting on your behalf have any discussions with him or his representatives about a pardon or reduced sentence in exchange for your silence?

if anyone has any pics of her and/or Epstein at any of those "Miss Universe" ( "Miss Teen USA", etc) pageants (that 45 owned the rights to). That would be smoking gun material right there!

including an "afterparty" on epstein's boat. the material is endless.

every rich and powerful man seems to be a member of this fraternity, but it might be chicken and egg. maybe you don't get the "master of the universe" job until epstein had enough tape to control you.

I'm sure "if" she "commits suicide" the guards won't fall asleep, all the cameras won't break or malfunction, and the DOJ will not make a memo about her death the day before it happens.

eerrr... I mean that would never happen twice right? 🤷

She got transferred to Country Club prison so she wouldn't talk about Hair Furor. I imagine there are NDAs out the wazoo to prevent that, and if she ever did divulge anything about the Pedophile in Chief she'll wind up in a SuperMax, or more likely, dead.
I totally believe there's a presidential pardon in her future as well.

SHES NOT GOING TO TALK, UNDER OATH (which means NOTHING to her) OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS.

You can refuse to answer a question because it might incriminate you. You can't refuse to answer a question because you signed a contract with someone where you agreed not to disclose information. (Also, NDA's are not enforceable to prevent the disclosure of criminal activity to legal authorities.)

With Pablo Escobar it was "plata y plomo."

With TrumpCo. it's "silencio o muerte."

Right-wing authoritarians are just like the mob. They have no qualms whatsoever about killing people who talk.

She was given total immunity, and protection.. I have a feeling she knows she holds the cards to bringing down Trump and the other pedos and it's her testimony that will do that.

It's deal with the devil time.. Is it worth it to let her go free, in exchange for prosecution the pedo / money laundering ring? The feds have made deals with worse, in order to get their "man"...

I notice that idea isn't being floated, and I suspect the feds do not want her to talk..

I would agree with you. Decision would be WHO do we want the MOST, i guess. IF her words took down the WHOLE bunch of inhuman rapist bastards, that could be ok in my books. I want them to pay so bad!!

(TNND) — Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's associate and co-conspirator, is scheduled to appear virtually for her deposition on Monday in front of the House Oversight Committee after being convicted in 2021 with sex trafficking minors.

She is currently serving out her 20-year sentence at a Texas prison and is expected to plead the Fifth to avoid answering questions.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer issued a subpoena in July compelling Maxwell to originally testify in August as part of the committee's investigation into Epstein.

Maxwell's attorneys resisted the original date and conditions, requesting protections such as immunity but Comer refused and the deposition was postponed until after legal proceedings were resolved.

Congress believes the Epstein scandal exposed systematic failures and Maxwell may be one of the few people who can explain them. .....................
