Epstein Investigation Progress

Upcoming Alex Acosta Deposition

• 🗓️ Alex Acosta is scheduled for a deposition on Friday, which Comer anticipates will be a "very challenging, probably six-hour deposition."

Bipartisan Nature of Investigation

• 🤝 Comer hopes the investigation remains bipartisan, offering Democrats equal time to question high-profile witnesses like Bill Barr and Alex Acosta.

Pursuit of Sealed Records

• 🤐 They are actively trying to obtain sealed interviews with Maxwell, Epstein, and some victims, believing these will answer many questions.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Pardon
