U.S. Lawmakers Urge Sarah Ferguson to Testify on Epstein Ties

House Oversight members say she likely has relevant information, inviting sworn testimony without any authority to force her appearance.

Overview

  • House Oversight members Suhas Subramanyam and Melanie Stansbury publicly called for Sarah Ferguson to give sworn evidence about her links to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • There is no legal mechanism to compel a non‑U.S. resident to appear, though lawmakers say they are willing to negotiate terms for her testimony, and some reporting suggests a formal request may follow.
  • Families of Epstein survivors, including a representative for Virginia Giuffre’s brother, and attorney Gloria Allred urged Ferguson to cooperate, arguing she could provide valuable information.
  • DOJ‑released emails show Ferguson praised Epstein and sought financial help after his 2008 conviction, with records suggesting her daughters joined a lunch with him; being named in the files does not itself indicate wrongdoing.
  • Ferguson remains out of public view as reputational fallout continues, with her charity closing and companies winding down, and a former media lawyer saying there is no chance she will travel to the U.S. to testify.
