House Oversight Committee Requests Report on Epstein
Rep. James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, has reached out to Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent with a request regarding Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
In a letter sent on Sunday, Comer mentioned that the committee is evaluating potential mishandling in the federal inquiry into Epstein and Maxwell, including the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.
The deadline set in the letter for the Treasury to submit the relevant SARs is September 15th. Comer emphasized that these documents are crucial for the committee to effectively oversee the enforcement of sex trafficking laws, particularly in regard to Epstein and Maxwell’s investigation and prosecution.
New Developments in Epstein’s Case
Fox News Digital attempted to get a comment from the Treasury regarding the letter, but no immediate response was received.
Earlier this year, Comer formed a task force aimed at declassifying federal records. The Department of Justice commenced sharing documents with the committee on August 22nd.
Additionally, Comer has issued subpoenas to various former government officials, including ex-President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Notable figures like former FBI directors Robert Mueller and James Comey, as well as former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, have also been drawn into this inquiry. Sources indicated that Mueller has health concerns that affected his ability to testify, but he is set to appear before the House panel on Tuesday as part of the ongoing investigation.
It seems the committee is planning to withdraw the subpoena for Mueller, which suggests an evolving situation.
