House oversight panel also issues deposition subpoenas for former top US officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Washington, DC – The Republican-led oversight committee in the United States House of Representatives has issued a subpoena to obtain records related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, amid ongoing scrutiny about his case.
Also on Tuesday, the panel’s Republican chair James Comer issued deposition subpoenas for top officials from both major parties, including ex-President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Attorney General Bill Barr.
Former FBI Director James Comey, a bitter rival of President Donald Trump, has also been called to testify.
The Justice Department subpoena, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, requests the release of “all documents and communications relating or referring to” Epstein and his ex-girlfriend and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
