Former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed by a congressional committee in a new probe related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Republican James Comer, head of the House Oversight Committee, issued the subpoenas as part of a broader investigation aimed at uncovering more details about Epstein's associations.
The committee's push for information follows a controversial decision by the Trump administration to withhold additional federal records on Epstein, which some believe might include a "client list" of prominent figures tied to Epstein. The subpoenas target a range of officials from previous administrations, including current and former attorneys general and FBI directors, indicating the investigation seeks to examine all angles of Epstein's case.
Epstein was arrested in 2019 and faced several charges related to sex trafficking before his death by suicide in jail, which has spurred numerous conspiracy theories. The recent announcements from the current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, reaffirming there is no evidence of a "client list" and confirming Epstein's suicide only added fuel to the fire, igniting frustration among various political factions.
The House Oversight Committee's actions highlight its intent to uncover what information exists within the government concerning Epstein, while also pushing for accountability from the Trump administration's past decisions.
