Former President Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton have been warned not to play legal games and defy a subpoena to tell a House panel about their dealings with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Last month, the Epstein case roared out of the dustbin of history after a Department of Justice memo said it had no list of clients and would release no further records.
Amid a firestorm of outrage from many conservatives, the Trump administration has sought to find ways to appease supporters, including asking for grand jury transcripts to be made public in the trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and the case of Epstein, which ended with his 2019 death before his trial could take place.
On Tuesday, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer announced that multiple individuals were being subpoenaed to disclose their relationships with Epstein, according to a news release on the committee’s website.
The Clintons; former FBI Director James Comey; former Attorney Generals Alberto Gonzales, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr, and Jeff Sessions; and former special counsel Robert Mueller were subpoenaed. The Department of Justice was also subpoenaed for all of Epstein records.
