Overview

• Committee chair James Comer secured a rare bipartisan vote to subpoena Hillary Clinton for October 9 testimony and Bill Clinton for October 14 deposition over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein
• Subpoenas also target the Justice Department, Ghislaine Maxwell and multiple former law enforcement leaders for documents and witness testimony on Epstein’s operations
• Vice President JD Vance accused Democratic figures of inaction in a Fox News interview, reigniting calls across party lines to publish the so-called Epstein files
• The Justice Department informed federal judges of its intention to unseal grand jury exhibits and transcripts with redactions to protect victims’ personal information
• The push for transparency is exposing intra-GOP divisions and intensifying bipartisan pressure for institutional accountability over years of secrecy
