The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Tuesday subpoenaed the Justice Department for files tied to the sex trafficking case against disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — a controversy the White House has sought to move on from.
Chairman James R. Comer, R-Ky., gave Attorney General Pamela Bondi a two-week deadline to produce the documents, saying it’s critical that Congress conduct oversight of the government’s efforts to investigate Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a federal prison sentence.
“The facts and circumstances surrounding both Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell’s cases have received immense public interest and scrutiny,” Comer wrote in a letter.
