House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a subpoena demanding that the Justice Department release all documents related to its Jeffrey Epstein probe by August 19th and compelling multiple former government officials to submit to depositions before the Committee. The former government officials who were subpoenaed included Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, and former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The deposition dates Comer announced range from August 18th (for former AG Barr) to October 14th (for President Clinton). Chairman Comer did not subpoena former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney who signed off on a 2008 plea deal for Epstein.
