Former President and Secretary of State among those subpoenaed regarding Epstein's dealings
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton, have been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The subpoenas were issued on Tuesday by Republican James Comer, who chairs the committee. Alongside the Clintons, eight others have also been called to testify about their potential ties to Epstein, focusing on his controversial life and the allegations surrounding his actions that captured national attention.
The scrutiny has intensified following a decision by the Trump administration not to release additional federal files related to Epstein, a move that has incited anger among both supporters and critics of Trump who speculate that suppressed documents may include a so-called "client list" of Epstein's prominent associates. The subpoenas broadly target various leaders across the Department of Justice from previous presidential administrations, with the committee also reaching out to DOJ to obtain records concerning their investigations into Epstein.
Among those summoned are former attorneys general Jeff Sessions and William Barr, as well as past FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. Each is expected to provide insights into how Epstein's case was handled during their tenures. The inquiry concerns not only Epstein's sex trafficking charges from 2019 but also the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death by suicide in custody later that year.
Amidst this backdrop, current U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed no evidence of the anticipated “client list” after reviewing Justice Department records on Epstein. This announcement has drawn ire from parts of Trump's political base, who feel the administration may have withheld crucial information regarding Epstein. Despite differences within the Republican party, several members of the House have echoed calls for a comprehensive investigation into the Epstein case, suggesting the Oversight Committee's efforts will persist in uncovering the truth behind Epstein’s affiliations and activities.
