US House subpoenas Clintons and top officials in Epstein probe

الوصف:

A powerful House committee has subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Justice Department, and eight top law enforcement officials as part of a renewed investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Republican‑led Oversight Committee issued the subpoenas even as Congress is on summer recess, demanding documents and sworn depositions from former FBI directors and attorneys general from both parties—including James Comey, Robert Mueller, Merrick Garland, William Barr, and others. The panel is also calling for full disclosure of files tied to Epstein’s prosecution and death, which many lawmakers claim remains shrouded in secrecy. President Trump, whose past ties to Epstein have drawn scrutiny, has urged his party to move on from the case, and the Justice Department has insisted there’s no hidden “client list.” But pressure continues to mount, including from some Democrats, who say the public deserves answers. The subpoenas order the Justice Department to hand over records by August 19, with depositions set throughout August to October—ending with Hillary Clinton on October 9 and Bill Clinton on October 14.
