House Escalates Epstein Probe With New Subpoenas

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, has issued subpoenas to the Department of Justice, former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and eight former attorneys general and FBI directors as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The committee demands all Epstein-related records, including communications from multiple presidential administrations, and is seeking depositions from the Clintons and high-profile law enforcement officials by August 19. This follows the DOJ's public assertion that no 'client list' or blackmail evidence exists and its decision to close the case, which has fueled bipartisan calls for transparency. Notably, former President Donald Trump has not been subpoenaed despite scrutiny over his past ties to Epstein. The subpoenas have heightened tensions within the Republican caucus and the Trump administration. The investigation reflects ongoing skepticism about the federal government’s handling of the Epstein case and continued congressional interest in potential connections to other powerful individuals.
