Washington, August 5, 2025 — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R‑Ky.) today announced plans to issue subpoenas to a host of high-profile figures from Democratic and Republican administrations — along with Bill and Hillary Clinton — as part of its expanding probe into the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking cases. The committee is also targeting former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, along with six ex-U.S. Attorneys General, for both testimony and documents.
The committee is also demanding a full document dump from the Justice Department, aiming to examine how the federal government handled Epstein’s and Maxwell’s prosecutions and broader sex trafficking enforcement.
Comer’s objective: hold the federal government accountable for its handling of Epstein and Maxwell — from prosecution steps to agency coordination — and to uncover potential overseer failures across administrations. The chairman emphasized the strong public interest in understanding how these cases were managed.
The Hill has additional details:
Per the rules of the committee, Comer was compelled to issue the subpoenas, which relate to both to Epstein and the case of his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Comer directs the DOJ to deliver the documents pursuant to the Epstein subpoena by Aug. 19.
“While the Department undertakes efforts to uncover and publicly disclose additional information related to Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell’s cases, it is imperative that Congress conduct oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws generally and specifically its handling of the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell,” Comer wrote in the letter to Bondi.
“The Committee may use the results of this investigation to inform legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations.”
Tuesday’s announcement stands in contrast to Comer’s earlier delay in subpoenaing the Epstein files — a hesitation noted by The Washington Post on July 30, 2025. The shift in timing suggests possible political pressure from the MAGA base, even though no specific wrongdoing has yet been proven against the individuals named.
