Overview
- Chair James Comer secured a rare bipartisan vote to subpoena former President Bill Clinton for an October 14 deposition and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for an October 9 deposition in the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry.
- Comer also issued subpoenas to the Department of Justice for all Epstein-related records and summoned former Attorneys General Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland and ex–special counsel Robert Mueller to testify.
- Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to abuse minors, has been called by the Oversight Committee to provide testimony and documents.
- In a Fox News interview, Vice President J.D. Vance blamed left-wing politicians and billionaires for extensive ties to Epstein’s Little St. James island and accused the Biden administration of withholding files.
- Vance’s comments reignited public and bipartisan pressure to unseal grand jury transcripts and release over 10,000 pages of FBI and DOJ materials related to Epstein’s network.
