Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, is demanding in a letter Thursday that committee Chair James Comer schedule a deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell following the Supreme Court’s rejection of an appeal of her criminal sex-trafficking conviction.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) slammed President Trump for signaling Monday that he could “take a look” at issuing a pardon for convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell.
“I just want to add just how outrageous it was for Donald Trump, in today’s White House interview that he had with the press, to even, somehow, lean into the idea of a pardon for a convicted sexual trafficker who herself abused girls, walked them to Jeffrey Epstein’s home where they continued to get more abuse,” Garcia told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
Democrats may investigate President Trump over his repeated claims that a $17 trillion flood of foreign and domestic investment has poured into the U.S. during his administration.

A group of elected officials gathered at the Long Beach Civic Center on Monday, Sept. 29, to call for the federal government to release the Epstein files in their entirety.
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, who is also the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has been leading the charge to hold the Department of Justice and the Trump administration accountable for their promises to make the case files on the sex trafficking investigation of Jeffery Epstein public.
