House committee subpoenas the Clintons and several top former DOJ officials for testimony on Jeffrey Epstein

The House committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case on Tuesday issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and several top former Justice Department officials for their testimony.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced Tuesday that it had sent out the deposition subpoenas to the Clintons, former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Bill Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales, and former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller “for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.”

Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., also issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for “records related to” Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The DOJ has been facing furious backlash after announcing last month that, after reviewing Epstein’s case, no other people were expected to be charged and no further information about the case would be released.
