Overview

• House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed ten former senior officials for private depositions to scrutinize the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein’s prosecution and custodial failures.
• Barr personally reviewed 11 hours of surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019 and backed the medical examiner’s suicide ruling even as its public release raised fresh questions.
• Subpoenas also target former President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, and multiple ex-Attorneys General.
• Comer said the Justice Department is compiling unredacted Epstein-related documents in a good-faith effort, although it may miss the initial deadline for full delivery.
• The probe remains active as investigators navigate Ghislaine Maxwell’s immunity-protected interviews and ongoing court disputes over grand jury secrecy.
