US EditionComer withdraws subpoena after Comey claims no information on Epstein
- After James Comey, the former FBI Director, stated he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, the congressional committee led by Rep. James Comer decided to withdraw its subpoena requiring Comey to testify in person about the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigation.
- Comer's action followed Comey's denial of any knowledge about files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which the Washington Examiner reported after reviewing related correspondence.
- The committee had previously issued ten subpoenas, including for Bill and Hillary Clinton, between August and October seeking information from various parties.
- Last month, Comey faced charges for making false statements and obstructing justice; he addressed the situation on Bluesky by declaring his innocence.
- Comer's decision to withdraw the subpoena suggests the investigation’s direction shifted after Comey’s denial and as legal proceedings against him moved forward.
