The committee, which released Epstein’s infamous birthday book that included a bawdy note from the president, gave Mrs Bondi until Oct 30 to provide a response.
Mr Trump faced backlash from supporters for his own association with Epstein and the botched release of the so-called client list, which he insists does not exist.
The US Justice Department closed the case on Epstein earlier this year, ruling there was “no incriminating client list” or any evidence that Epstein may have blackmailed prominent people.
Maxwell’s lawyers capitalised on the political pressure by offering her cooperation in the efforts to dispel speculation and pledging to testify before congress should he pardon her.
Since then, her quest for freedom suffered a huge setback earlier this month when the Supreme Court judges rejected her appeal.
Maxwell’s lawyers argue that her conviction is invalid, saying a plea agreement made with Epstein in Florida in 2007, which shields his associates, should have barred her criminal prosecution in New York.
In theory, the decision by the US’ highest court of appeal means her only hope of an early release is through a pardon, which the president has so far refused to grant.
Maxwell now waits for a pardon in her Texas prison cell, which is home to more than 500 inmates, most of whom are serving time for non-violent offences and white-collar crimes.
