Clintons subpoenaed: Epstein case reaches the highest levels of power

The committee has scheduled the testimony of Bill and Hillary Clinton for October, as part of its probe into Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, and Ghislaine Maxwell, his convicted accomplice in sex trafficking.

Other high-ranking federal officials, including former Attorney General William Barr and current Attorney General Merrick Garland, are also set to testify under subpoena.

Bill Clinton's summons is linked to his flights aboard Epstein’s private jet, while Hillary Clinton is expected to be questioned regarding Ghislaine Maxwell’s nephew, who worked for her campaign and at the U.S. State Department.

Maxwell’s own subpoena has been delayed pending the outcome of her appeal, with her lawyers indicating she may testify in exchange for a pardon deal.

Controversy has emerged over the U.S. Department of Justice’s claim that no client list of Epstein exists—an assertion that contradicts earlier statements and has fueled speculation, especially following Maxwell’s transfer to a low-security facility.

James Comer, the Republican chairman of the committee, has issued subpoenas to senior officials from both major parties.

A subpoena sent to former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice demands the release of all documents and correspondence related to or referencing Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Congress holds the authority to issue subpoenas—legally binding requests for documents and appearances for questioning.
