House Oversight Issues Bipartisan Subpoenas for Epstein FBI Files
House Oversight Chairman James Comer issued subpoenas on August 5, 2025, demanding Jeffrey Epstein FBI files and depositions from ten former officials, after a bipartisan 8-2 vote in the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee on July 23. Republicans Nancy Mace, Scott Perry, and Brian Jack joined four Democrats to compel DOJ to release Epstein files with victim names redacted. The subpoenas also directed depositions from Bill and Hillary Clinton, six former attorneys general spanning both parties, and former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller.
