The HillThe House Oversight Committee has formally requested an interview with Alan Dershowitz as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Dershowitz, who previously represented Epstein and helped secure a 2008 plea deal for him, said he is prepared to answer questions. He stated he wants the session to be videotaped, under oath and open to the public.
The committee made the request after interviewing Epstein’s longtime assistant Lesley Groff and meeting with several Epstein survivors. Officials said questions for Dershowitz would be based on that testimony. Dershowitz told NewsNation he had not received a formal request before the announcement and that he had already volunteered to testify in recent months.
“I’m very proud of my role in representing Epstein.
I’m prepared to testify about everything. I offered to testify, volunteered for the past few months. I will personally not invoke privilege. I have nothing to hide,” Dershowitz said. He added that he hopes the committee has videos of Epstein’s rooms and bedrooms and that he is willing to testify truthfully about Les Wexner.
Dershowitz said his contact with Groff was limited to arranging travel accommodations for lawyers around 2006. He has denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein’s crimes. Virginia Giuffre once accused Epstein of trafficking her to Dershowitz; she later recanted the claim as part of a settlement.
The committee has already interviewed former President Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi declined to answer questions about her conversations with the White House during a four-hour session.
Officials also said they want Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to appear before the committee in July, with timing dependent on his expected confirmation hearing.
