Several of America’s top political leaders have been issued subpoenas to testify about the ‘horrific crimes’ perpetrated by former financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued deposition subpoenas on Tuesday to several former Trump-era Department of Justice officials, as well as historical Democrat power players.
Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton have been called to appear before the Committee in October.
Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, who served under President Trump during his first term, are among the Republicans who have been subpoenaed for testimony.
Chairman Comer also issued a subpoena to the current Trump-led U.S. Department of Justice for records related to Epstein.
It’s a spectacular move by Republicans to pressure Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi to put out more documents as the administration has been embroiled in controversy over Epstein ‘cover-up’ claims.
Bondi has been blamed by both Democrats and Republcians for stalling the release of the files.

House Republicans voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for testimony about Jeffrey Epstein on July 23rd.
A motion from Rep. Scott Perry to have Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., solicit the former first couple’s testimony passed Wednesday afternoon amid a flurry of new developments around the saga that’s consumed Washington.
The effort also called for other high-profile Democrats with expected ties to the late pedophile to be subpoenaed.
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland will also be compelled to testify.
So will former special counsel Robert Mueller, who oversaw Trump’s Russia collusion case.
The full list of officials called to appear before House Oversight also includes Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Former FBI Director James Comey.

The push to force testimony by top officials comes after Comer also subpoenaed Epstein’s longtime partner and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex trafficking charges.
But Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony before Congress has been postponed pending her Supreme Court case.
Maxwell had been in talks with the Trump administration and Congress about dishing on the disgraced financier and his relationships.
The push for additional Epstein-related testimony comes amid heightened media scrutiny over the sex offender’s unreleased Department of Justice and FBI files.
A federal judge last Wednesday denied the Trump administration’s request to release the highly-secretive grand jury testimony from the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Obama-appointed Judge Robin Rosenberg slapped down the request from Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal proceedings related to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The House Oversight Committee also announced last week that it had issued a subpoena to interview Maxwell at her Florida prison facility.
Maxwell’s attorney had not yet agreed to the committee’s terms for an interview but indicated an interview was possible.
Chairman Comer announced last week that Maxwell was set to testify before the panel on August 11 at the Tallahassee facility where she is serving her prison sentence.
