House Subpoenas DOJ, Clintons in Epstein Probe

The House Oversight Committee has voted to subpoena the Department of Justice for records related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation and to compel testimony from high-profile figures, including Bill and Hillary Clinton. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate, has also been subpoenaed for a deposition in federal prison. House Speaker Mike Johnson cited concerns about protecting the innocent when questioned about releasing the files, while Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna emphasized that proposed measures would shield victims' identities. The bipartisan effort, marked by several Republicans joining Democrats, reflects growing congressional and public demand for transparency. These actions follow the Justice Department's closure of the Epstein case, fueling further frustration and calls to expose anyone involved in Epstein's criminal activities. The move signals a critical escalation in Congress's investigation into the Epstein scandal.
