Summary
Doug Band will give a voluntary closed-door interview to the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, with lawmakers expected to question his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Justice Department files cited by the committee place Band at a 2003 dinner at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and show correspondence with Maxwell from 2002 to 2006, including a 2006 request to use her plane.
Band has not been charged with wrongdoing, and most of the interactions described appear to predate Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor.
His testimony could sharpen scrutiny of Bill Clinton: Band said in a 2020 interview that he urged Clinton to cut ties with Epstein and claimed Clinton visited Little St. James in 2003, contradicting Clinton’s denials.
The interview is part of a broader bipartisan probe that already deposed Bill and Hillary Clinton in March and has also questioned figures including Bill Gates, with more high-profile witnesses expected in July.
