Overview

  • The subpoena demands unredacted documents and communications from the Epstein estate with a Sept. 8 production deadline.
  • Investigators are seeking materials that could illuminate Epstein’s dealings, including a reported “birthday book” linked to Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta is set for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19 following DOJ’s prior finding that his 2008 Epstein plea deal reflected poor judgment.
  • The Justice Department recently provided thousands of pages in response to earlier subpoenas, which congressional reviewers are now examining.
  • Chairman James Comer will accept sworn statements from former attorneys general Alberto Gonzales, Eric Holder, and Jeff Sessions asserting they hold no relevant information.
