House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is seeking testimony from attorney Alan Dershowitz as part of the panel's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Dershowitz, who previously represented Epstein, has stated he wants the interview to be public and under oath.
The House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein seeks to uncover details surrounding his activities and the handling of his case, potentially shedding light on broader systemic issues and the involvement of prominent figures.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer announced that the panel will seek testimony from attorney Alan Dershowitz as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Comer stated that the decision was prompted by the testimony of Lesley Groff, Epstein's former assistant, and discussions with Epstein survivors.
Dershowitz, who previously represented Epstein and was part of his legal team that negotiated a 2008 plea deal, said he had volunteered to testify. He expressed a desire for the interview to be videotaped, under oath, and public, stating he wants the truth to emerge. A spokesperson for Comer's office confirmed that the committee will interview anyone with relevant information regarding the Epstein and Maxwell cases, noting that Groff and survivors had suggested Dershowitz should be interviewed.
Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein survivor, had previously alleged that Dershowitz sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. Dershowitz has consistently denied these claims and has never been charged with any wrongdoing related to Epstein. Giuffre sued Dershowitz for defamation in 2019 but dropped the lawsuit in 2022.
