House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced Tuesday that, following a bipartisan subcommittee vote authorizing subpoenas, he has issued subpoenas to some of the most powerful political figures of the past three decades to testify in an investigation centered on the “horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein,” as described in the Committee’s press release.
Among those now under subpoena are:- Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr (August 18)
- Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (August 26)
- Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (August 28)
- Former FBI Director Robert Mueller (September 2)

The House Oversight Committee, through Chairman Comer, subpoenaed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for all records related to Jeffrey Epstein in accordance with a bipartisan vote by the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee on July 23. That vote included an amendment from Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) to expand the scope of the DOJ subpoena.
