The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to compel testimony in its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, Fox News Digital confirmed Tuesday.
The subpoenas are part of a broader effort by Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to uncover potential misconduct or coverups tied to the deceased sex offender’s high-profile connections and the federal government’s handling of the case.
Subpoenas Sent to Former Top Officials Across Four Administrations
In addition to the Clintons, Comer’s committee has subpoenaed several former attorneys general and FBI directors, including:
-
James Comey (FBI) – Oct. 7
-
Robert Mueller (FBI) – Sept. 2
-
Loretta Lynch (AG) – Sept. 19
-
Eric Holder (AG) – Sept. 30
-
William Barr (AG) – Aug. 18
-
Jeff Sessions (AG) – Aug. 28
-
Alberto Gonzales (AG) – Aug. 26
-
Merrick Garland (AG) – Oct. 2
The Department of Justice was also subpoenaed to produce Epstein-related records by August 19.
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear October 9, and Bill Clinton on October 14, according to subpoena letters obtained by Fox News Digital.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s Deposition Delayed
The committee has also subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in trafficking and abusing underage girls. However, Chairman Comer agreed to delay Maxwell’s deposition until after the Supreme Court reviews her appeal to overturn the conviction.
DOJ Under Fire Over “No Client List” Memo
The sweeping subpoenas follow the July release of a DOJ memo that concluded there was “no incriminating client list” and “no credible evidence” that Epstein blackmailed powerful individuals — findings that have deeply fractured the Republican base.
“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo stated.
Conservative figures like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer blasted the memo as a whitewash, accusing the Justice Department of protecting political elites.
Trump Stands by Bondi Amid Internal GOP Friction
Despite the infighting, President Donald Trump has stood by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who he appointed in 2025. Trump instructed Bondi to release any credible evidence from the Epstein case and restore confidence among conservatives demanding justice.
Bondi responded by dispatching Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to meet directly with Maxwell at a Florida federal prison, signaling the administration’s seriousness in pursuing the truth.
The DOJ has also moved to release sealed grand jury testimony related to Epstein and Maxwell — a step long demanded by transparency advocates.
