Overview

• The full House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Justice Department for all unredacted investigation files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s cases, setting an August 19 compliance deadline
• Closed-door depositions are slated from mid-August through October, culminating with Hillary Clinton on October 9 and Bill Clinton on October 14 alongside former attorneys general and FBI directors
• Two anonymous Epstein victims filed letters on August 4 condemning the push to unseal grand jury transcripts as “political warfare” and urging strict redactions to protect their identities
• Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team has formally opposed the release of grand jury materials, warning that disclosure could inflict severe reputational harm and jeopardize her potential retrial appeal
• Earlier this month the DOJ moved to unseal grand jury transcripts in New York and Florida courts, but the Florida request was denied and New York judges have sought further justification for public release
