Overview
- The Republican-led committee issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi for all unredacted documents related to Jeffrey Epstein by August 19.
- Deposition orders call on former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, six ex-attorneys general and two former FBI directors to testify between mid-August and mid-October.
- A bipartisan group of Democrats joined Republicans in approving the subpoenas, citing a shared demand for transparency in the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
- The investigation focuses on agency decisions before and after Epstein’s 2019 suicide to determine if critical information was withheld or if influential figures were protected.
- The Trump administration has resisted full disclosure, pointing to Justice Department findings that Epstein died by suicide and that no secret “client list” existed.
