Clintons subpoenaed to testify in congressional Epstein investigation

Leading our broadcast lastnight: a congressional subpoena lands on the desk of a former U-S President. House investigators have formally summoned Bill and Hillary Clinton, demanding sworn testimony in the widening probe of late sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Republican James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, issued the orders today along with eight additional subpoenas to former Attorneys General, FBI directors, and Justice Department officials. The committee wants every memo, e-mail, and case file tied to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell—who is now serving twenty years in federal prison.
Comer says depositions will begin this month and stretch into the fall. Bill Clinton is tentatively scheduled to appear October 14th.
In a statement accompanying the subpoenas, Comer wrote the committee must, quote, “conduct oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex-trafficking laws and its handling of the Epstein-Maxwell investigation.”
The move follows last month’s decision by the Trump administration to keep remaining Epstein documents sealed—igniting backlash from both the president’s supporters and some Democrats. Attorney General Pam Bondi says a fresh review found no rumored “client list” and reaffirmed Epstein’s 2019 jail-cell suicide.
Ghislaine Maxwell had been set to testify behind closed doors August 11th, but that deposition is now postponed indefinitely. Her attorneys argue releasing grand-jury transcripts would violate her due-process rights.
Calls to the Clinton Foundation and the Justice Department were not immediately returned.
Epstein was first investigated in the early 2000s, charged again in 2019, and found dead in his Manhattan cell weeks later.
