In April 2026, Ted Waitt appeared voluntarily for a transcribed interview with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as part of its review of the federal government’s handling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases. The Committee released the transcript in May 2026.
Documented testimony
Waitt described his relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and characterized his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein as limited. The transcript is valuable because it provides attributable testimony that can be compared with travel records, property records, emails and other primary sources.
Why careful attribution matters
Being associated socially or professionally with Maxwell or Epstein does not by itself establish participation in criminal conduct. ESFB treats the transcript as a source for timeline construction and verification, not as proof of unrelated allegations.
