This action follows bipartisan support among committee members and aims to ensure congressional oversight of federal enforcement of sex trafficking laws. Subpoenas have also been issued compelling testimonies from several key former government officials. Meanwhile, the DOJ has declined to comment, raising concerns of potential conflicts between Congress and the White House regarding Epstein's case and its investigations.
The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for records related to its investigation of convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, seeking all documents and communications relating to them.
Congress is conducting oversight of the federal government's enforcement of sex trafficking laws and specifically addressing the investigation and prosecution of Epstein and Maxwell, as highlighted in a letter from committee chair James Comer.
Subpoenas have also been issued for testimony from several former government officials, including Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, as part of the inquiry.
The DOJ has not commented on the subpoena for records, which poses potential conflict between Congress and the White House as investigations into Epstein's case continue.
