Republican congressman James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, signed a subpoena demanding documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, which is registered in the US Virgin Islands. The subpoena requests a birthday book compiled with friends' notes, Epstein's last will and testament, agreements with prosecutors, contact lists including the Black Book, nondisclosure agreements, and records of financial transactions and holdings. The committee is reviewing potential mismanagement of federal investigations into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, circumstances surrounding Epstein's death, sex-trafficking operations, approaches to combat them, and possible ethics violations by elected officials. The committee previously subpoenaed the Justice Department and received about 33,000 pages while issuing deposition subpoenas to multiple high-profile figures.
The subpoena was signed by congressman James Comer, the Republican chair of the House oversight committee. The estate is registered in the US Virgin Islands. The letter demands that Epstein's estate produce documents including a book that was compiled with notes from friends for his 50th birthday, his last will and testament, agreements he signed with prosecutors, his contacts, Black Book, any non-disclosure agreements, and his financial transactions and holdings.
Comer wrote to Epstein's executors, attorneys Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, saying the committee is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government's investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein's death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials.
Earlier this month, the committee issued a subpoena to the justice department for records on the Epstein case. About 33,000 pages were handed over last week but Democrats on the committee said many were already in the public domain. Additionally, the committee has issued deposition subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton, former attorney generals James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr and Jeff Sessions, among others.
