The House speaker said in an interview with "Meet the Press" he would have "great pause" about any commutation for the former Jeffrey Epstein associate.

Think of all these unspeakable crimes, and, as you noted earlier, probably 1,000 victims,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes Maxwell should serve more time but that any decision on a pardon for the longtime Epstein associate belongs with the president.

Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted in 2021 for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom and abuse underage girls.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has issued a subpoena ordering Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, to testify from prison in Florida.

His comments come after Trump's top envoy, Steve Witkoff, said yesterday that he was pulling the U.S. team of negotiators out of Doha, Qatar, after Hamas' latest response in the talks, saying it "clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza."

The House Oversight Committee has been preparing to send attorneys to the prison where the Epstein associate is incarcerated in order to take testimony.

The renewed focus on Ghislaine Maxwell comes amid persistent questions over President Trump’s years-long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
