2026 Epstein Congressional Transcripts: Source Guide

A guide to 2026 House Oversight transcripts concerning Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Evidence note: Association, appearance in records, or being named in litigation does not by itself establish criminal wrongdoing. Allegations are attributed to their sources.

In 2026 the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released multiple transcribed interviews as part of its review of federal handling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases. These transcripts provide first-person testimony that should be compared with independent records rather than treated as self-proving.

Released interviews

Committee releases include interviews involving Ted Waitt, Howard Lutnick, Bill Gates, Lesley Groff, Leon Black, Doug Band, Kathryn Ruemmler and Jes Staley, among others released by the Committee.

How to use them

Build date-specific claims. Quote minimally and accurately. Compare statements with contemporaneous emails, travel records, financial documents and court exhibits. Record contradictions without assuming which account is correct until corroborating evidence resolves the conflict.
