House committee issues subpoenas for Epstein files, depositions with Clintons and other officials

  • On Tuesday, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee demanded the Justice Department hand over files related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, while also summoning ten former officials for depositions concerning the case.
  • The subpoenas follow growing bipartisan demands for transparency amid the Justice Department's refusal to release a full investigation accounting and Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to delay congressional action.
  • The committee targets former Presidents Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, former FBI directors, and attorneys general who served during Epstein's criminal probe, while Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence from 2022.
  • Chairman James Comer requested all relevant documents by August 19 and asserted defiance against Johnson’s attempts to slow the committee’s progress on the Epstein files.
  • This subpoena effort signals escalated oversight into Epstein-related investigations and sustains political pressure amid unresolved questions about connections to President Trump and other officials.
