"Driving the news: "It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee's investigation and legislative goals," Comer said in a statement. The subpoena sets a Sept. 8 deadline for turning over the documents. Catch up quick: The DOJ last week delivered "thousands of pages of documents" pertaining to its Epstein probe that the committee also had subpoenaed."
"Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also announced that former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta will appear for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19. The Justice Department concluded that Acosta demonstrated "poor judgment" when he signed off on a widely criticized 2008 plea deal for Epstein. The Oversight Committee is also seeking to compel testimony from a number of former government officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey."
The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein for documents believed to further the committee's investigation and legislative goals, with a Sept. 8 deadline for turnover. The DOJ delivered thousands of pages of documents last week that the committee had also subpoenaed. Former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta will appear for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19 after the Justice Department concluded Acosta demonstrated "poor judgment" in approving a 2008 plea deal for Epstein. The committee is seeking testimony from numerous former officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton and James Comey. The committee will accept written declarations from former Attorneys General Alberto Gonzelez, Eric Holder, and Jeff Sessions stating they have "no information" pertaining to Epstein; all were previously subpoenaed for depositions.
