The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to the Justice Department and several prominent Democratic and Republican figures for documents and testimony related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, amid growing calls for transparency from congressional Republicans.
The subpoena to the Justice Department demands any Epstein-related files in its possession, with victim names redacted, as well as communications between former Biden administration officials and the department on the case.
Additionally, 10 individuals have been subpoenaed for closed-door depositions from August to October. These include former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former Attorney General William Barr, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales; former FBI Director James Comey; former special counsel Robert Mueller; and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
The Republican-led committee is seeking testimony from these officials about their roles at the DOJ and FBI during the criminal investigations into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
