Overview
- The Republican-led Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton for October testimony and ordered the DOJ to hand over remaining Epstein investigative files by August 19.
- Subpoenas also target former Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and Merrick Garland and ex-FBI directors Robert Mueller and James Comey for private hearings.
- In early July the DOJ and FBI reversed prior disclosure promises and sealed hundreds of gigabytes of Epstein records, citing victim privacy concerns.
- Vice President J.D. Vance convened senior White House and Justice Department officials to debate publishing Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s recorded interview and transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell.
- The committee’s actions intensify pressure on President Trump’s administration to fulfill its campaign pledge to unseal Epstein documents and rebuild public confidence.
