From Maxwell's Fifth to Clinton Under Oath: The Complete Epstein Deposition Timeline
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is conducting the most extensive congressional investigation into the Epstein network in history.

Completed Depositions
Ghislaine Maxwell (February 9, 2026)
Maxwell was deposed virtually from federal prison. She invoked the Fifth Amendment on a "blanket basis," refusing to answer any substantive questions. She would not confirm or deny her involvement in sex trafficking.
Through her attorney, Maxwell made a conditional offer: she would testify fully, and would state that Trump is "innocent of any wrongdoing," if the President grants her clemency.
The offer was widely interpreted as a negotiating tactic. No clemency has been granted.
Document count: 19,218 documents in the database reference Maxwell.
Les Wexner (February 18, 2026)
The Victoria's Secret billionaire was deposed for five hours at his New Albany, Ohio mansion. Five Democratic representatives questioned him; no Republican members attended.
Core defense: Wexner characterized Epstein as a "world-class con man" who served as his family office manager. He denied any social relationship.
Key revelations:
- Granted Epstein power of attorney in 1991; revoked it in 2007
- Epstein returned $100 million in 2008 after stealing "vast sums"
- Transferred the 9 East 71st Street townhouse to Epstein for $20 million
- Signed a birthday card "your friend, Leslie" with a crude drawing, then could not explain why
Viral moment: Wexner's attorney was caught on a hot microphone saying "I will f---ing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."
Survivor response: Maria Farmer, who was abused by Epstein and Maxwell while working at Wexner's estate, called his testimony "abhorrent."

Document count: 979 documents reference Wexner.
Hillary Clinton (February 26, 2026)
Deposed for approximately seven hours at her Chappaqua, New York home. Clinton denied ever meeting Epstein, flying on his aircraft, or visiting any of his properties. She acknowledged knowing Maxwell "casually" and confirmed Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding.
Clinton used her opening statement to call on the committee to depose Trump under oath.
The session was briefly paused when Rep. Lauren Boebert leaked a photo of Clinton from the closed-door proceedings to a conservative YouTuber, violating House rules.

Document count: 1,381 documents reference Hillary Clinton.
Upcoming Depositions
Bill Clinton (February 27, 2026)
Scheduled to testify at his Chappaqua home. The deposition marks the first time a former U.S. president has appeared before a congressional panel in more than 40 years.
Clinton's name appears across flight logs, photographs, and correspondence in the Epstein files. He traveled on Epstein's Boeing 727 four times in 2002 and 2003 for Clinton Foundation trips.
Clinton initially defied the committee's subpoena, leading to a criminal contempt vote before he agreed to appear.

Document count: 3,514 documents reference Bill Clinton.
Richard Kahn (March 11, 2026)
Kahn was Epstein's longtime accountant and serves as co-executor of Epstein's estate (the "1953 Trust"). He is expected to face questions about the financial architecture that supported Epstein's operations.
Separately, Kahn and fellow executor Darren Indyke have agreed to a $25 to $35 million class action settlement with Epstein survivors. The complaint alleged they helped conceal sex trafficking by structuring bank accounts for large cash withdrawals.
Document count: 78,566 documents reference Kahn, reflecting his central role in Epstein's financial operations.
Darren Indyke (March 19, 2026)
Indyke was Epstein's personal attorney and co-executor of the estate. His deposition was originally scheduled for March 5 but was pushed back two weeks.
As with Kahn, the settlement agreement does not include an admission of wrongdoing.
Document count: 30,841 documents reference Indyke.
Also Subpoenaed
The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to current and former senior law enforcement officials. These depositions have not yet been scheduled:
Former Attorneys General:
- William Barr
- Alberto Gonzales
- Jeff Sessions
- Loretta Lynch
- Eric Holder
- Merrick Garland
Former FBI Directors:
- Robert Mueller
- James Comey
The committee is seeking testimony about how the Epstein investigation was managed (or mismanaged) across multiple administrations, why certain leads were not pursued, and what role political considerations may have played in prosecutorial decisions.
The Barak Audio
While not a deposition, the release of a three-hour audio recording of a conversation between Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak deserves inclusion here. The recording, from approximately 2013 to 2014, captures discussions of selective immigration, "mass conversion" plans, and a remark about "young, beautiful girls" that sparked a political crisis in Israel.
Full coverage: Read our investigation
Document count: 5,643 documents reference Barak.
The Estate Settlement
On February 20, 2026, Epstein estate executors Kahn and Indyke agreed to settle a class action lawsuit filed by survivors:
- $35 million if more than 40 women are eligible
- $25 million if fewer than 40
- Payment from remaining estate assets, not personal funds
- No admission of wrongdoing
- Requires judicial approval
What to Watch
The next two weeks will be the most active period in the investigation. Bill Clinton's deposition is imminent. The Kahn and Indyke depositions will open the financial architecture of the Epstein network to congressional scrutiny for the first time.
Meanwhile, an NPR investigation has revealed that 53 pages appear to be missing from the DOJ's public database, all related to accusations involving Trump. Both parties have pledged to investigate.
