The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the Department of Justice for all records regarding its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, with a deadline of August 19. Despite this, Comer indicated that the DOJ requires more time to comply. Additionally, subpoenas were sent to several former officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton and James Comey. Representative Massie and Representative Khanna are advocating for a House vote to declassify Epstein-related files. The GOP has experienced criticism from their base following inquiries into Epstein's client list.
The subpoena sent to DOJ earlier this month demanded the department turn over all records related its investigation of the disgraced financier by Aug. 19th. But Comer said in a statement Monday that DOJ "needs more time" to hand over everything.
The House Oversight Committee also subpoenaed several former government officials as part of its investigation into Epstein, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey.
Trump and his GOP allies in Congress have faced an uproar from their MAGA base ever since the DOJ concluded last month that Epstein had no "client list" and died by suicide.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has consistently called for transparency in the case, and said "there's no fear" among his conference around the issue.
