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.
