  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.

  • Convicted sex trafficker Ghilan Maxwell is scheduled to answer questions today to a House committee.

  • The deposition is to be virtual and private.

  • Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for helping late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

  • NPR Scott Newman reports.

  • Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have called on Maxwell to answer questions about Epstein,

  • his crimes, and the powerful people who associated with him, President Trump, among them.

  • They include politicians, entrepreneurs, academics, and entertainers.

  • Some lawmakers want to know the names of 25 men who Maxwell says in court papers entered into secret settlements and were not part of the Epstein investigation.

  • But Maxwell is expected to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination,

  • and may say little or nothing to the committee.

  • Scott Newman, NPR News, Washington.

  • A federal judge is ordering the FBI to release records about its seizure of 2020 presidential election ballots in Georgia.

  • NPR Stephen Fowler has more.

  • The FBI has until Tuesday to publish a redacted copy of the affidavit it used to seize election material from Fulton County's elections office.

  • The Saturday order comes after more than 650 boxes of election material were taken on January 28 with little public explanation.

  • Fulton County is home to Atlanta and has been ground zero for conspiracies about President Trump's 2020 election defeat.

  • There's no evidence of widespread fraud in elections,

  • including the 2020 race, which concluded more than five years ago.
