The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena on Tuesday to the Department of Justice seeking access to materials related to the sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.
The subpoena is part of an ongoing congressional inquiry, which lawmakers suggest could reveal connections to prominent high-ranking officials.
Additionally, the Republican-led committee announced subpoenas for depositions with President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and eight former senior law enforcement officials, all of which are listed below with dates of the depositions. These actions signal continued interest in the Epstein case, even as lawmakers are away from Washington for a month-long recess.
The decision comes amid unresolved questions regarding the Justice Department's reluctance to provide a comprehensive report on the Epstein investigation.
The subpoenas underscore the growing demand for transparency concerning Epstein's connections and the handling of the investigation. Lawmakers are expected to continue their efforts to obtain detailed documentation and uncover any potential implications that may arise from the case.
