'Full, unredacted files': House oversight committee issues subpoenas to Clintons in Epstein case; demands complete DOJ records
Former US President Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton The US House oversight committee has issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, and several former senior justice department and FBI officials as part of its investigation into the crimes committed by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. On Tuesday, committee chairman James Comer, R-Ky, announced the subpoenas, which demand testimony from a wide range of former officials. Those targeted include former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Bill Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The committee is seeking answers regarding what Comer described as 'horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.' as quoted by NBC News. Comer has also subpoenaed the Department of Justice, demanding it hand over the 'full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files' by August 19, 2025. The move follows mounting criticism of the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case. Last month, the department said it would not bring charges against additional individuals and would not release further details. That decision has sparked bipartisan frustration and renewed calls for transparency. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Among the most notable subpoenas is one directed at former President Bill Clinton, asking him to sit for a deposition on October 14. In his letter, Comer cited Clinton's past ties to Epstein. 'By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003,' Comer wrote. 'You were also allegedly close to Ms Ghislane Maxwell, an Epstein co-conspirator, and attended an intimate dinner with her in 2014, three years after public reports about her involvement in Mr. Epstein's abuse of minors,' he added, referring to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose name was misspelled in the letter, reported NBC News. Comer also pointed to 'conflicting reports about whether you ever visited Mr Epstein's island.' While Clinton has consistently denied visiting Epstein's private island, the location where some of the abuse allegedly took place, President Donald Trump has publicly claimed Clinton traveled there '28 times,' though he has provided no evidence. Representatives for the Clintons have not responded to the latest subpoenas. However, Clinton's spokesperson Angel Urena issued a statement in 2019, saying the former president 'knows nothing about the terrible crimes' Epstein had been charged with. Urena confirmed that Clinton had traveled on Epstein's private jet four times in 2002 and 2003 as part of Clinton Foundation work, and was accompanied on each trip by staff and Secret Service agents. 'He has not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade,' Urena said at the time.

Jeffrey Epstein probe: House committee subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton, ex-DOJ and FBI officials
The House Oversight Committee has issued sweeping subpoenas to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), former Presidents and top law enforcement officials as part of its intensifying investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network — a case that continues to reverberate through U.S. politics. On Tuesday, the committee subpoenaed the DOJ for full access to its investigative files on Epstein, aiming to uncover potential connections to President Donald Trump and other high-ranking officials. The Republican-led panel also subpoenaed former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for sworn depositions, alongside eight former top law enforcement officials, including ex-attorneys general and FBI directors. Those summoned for testimony include six former attorneys general — Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Alberto Gonzales — as well as former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The committee has also requested communications between the Biden administration and the DOJ regarding Epstein, indicating a bipartisan push to uncover potential interference or suppression of information. While the effort was largely driven by Republican lawmakers, Democrats played a key role in initiating the subpoena for DOJ files through a subcommittee vote. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, emphasized the importance of transparency. 'Today was an important step forward in our fight for transparency regarding the Epstein files and our dedication to seeking justice for the victims," said Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, and Summer Lee, who initiated the subpoena, in a joint statement. 'Now, we must continue putting pressure on the Department of Justice until we actually receive every document.' The committee had earlier sought to question Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former associate, who is currently serving a sentence for trafficking underage girls. However, Chairman James Comer has said her deposition may be delayed until the Supreme Court rules on her appeal, in which she claims she was wrongfully prosecuted.
