A House panel voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, marking a drastic escalation of the Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) offered a motion during a House Oversight Committee subcommittee hearing to call on Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) to subpoena people with possible links to Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former associate of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton Holder, Jr., Merrick Brian Garland, Robert Swan Mueller III, William Pelham Barr, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third, and Alberto Gonzales. That’s the full list, Mr. Chairman. And that’s the motion,” Perry said.
The subpoenas would actually need to be issued by Comer to be active.
A House Oversight Committee aide told Fox News Digital, “The subpoenas will be issued in the near future.”
It comes after Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) a member of the progressive “Squad,” pushed for a vote on her own motion to subpoena any files related to Epstein.
That motion passed in an 8-to-2 vote, also directing Comer to issue that subpoena.
The Justice Department last week released a memo concluding there was no evidence suggesting the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender kept a “client list” to blackmail high-profile individuals. The memo also found no evidence to suggest foul play in Epstein’s death, which had previously been ruled a suicide.
The memo spurred fierce backlash from many Trump supporters, who had long called on the government to release material on Epstein that they argue would expose wrongdoing at the highest level of elite circles.
At Trump’s direction, the DOJ is moving to have grand jury files related to Epstein’s case unsealed. Bondi is looking into whether imprisoned former Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell will speak with federal authorities as well.
A House GOP-led motion directing Comer to subpoena Maxwell passed the House Oversight Committee unanimously on Tuesday, and Comer issued the subpoena the following day.
