Overview
- The committee has ordered the Justice Department to deliver full, unredacted records relating to its Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation by August 19
- It has subpoenaed former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton to testify at depositions scheduled for October
- Former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller along with ex-attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales have been summoned for testimony through mid-October
- Some Democrats joined Republicans in backing the subpoenas, reflecting cross-party demands for transparency into the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein’s case before and after his 2019 suicide
- The Trump administration and Justice Department have not yet complied and are expected to resist the demands, potentially invoking executive privilege
