US EditionHouse subcommittee votes to subpoena Justice Department for Epstein files
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 23 – The bipartisan vote compels the Justice Department to disclose all unreleased documents in Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation following public and political demands for transparency.
- A House subcommittee voted 8-2 to subpoena the Department of Justice for files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, pushed by Democratic Representative Summer Lee and supported by three Republicans.
- The subpoenas also include requests for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify, following her conviction for aiding Epstein's trafficking of underage girls.
- This action reflects growing demands for transparency, as House Speaker Mike Johnson previously attempted to delay further action on Epstein-related matters until after the recess.
- Despite bipartisan support for the subpoena, Republicans are accused of attempting to protect powerful individuals linked to Epstein, while Democrats assert the need for accountability regardless of status.
