The House Observation Panel Subcommittee has voted to issue subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton regarding potential connections between convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Gislaine Maxwell.
This subpoena motion was introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) during a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee meeting on Wednesday. The approval came through audio voting, and there were no roll calls. The panel, led by Republicans, approved it. As reported by a source:
The committee’s full list of individuals for whom subpoenas are sought includes former Justice Department officials such as ex-FBI chief James Comey, former special advisor Robert Mueller, and former attorneys general like Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.
James Kommer (R-KY), the House Oversight Committee Chairman, must formally issue the subpoena to Clinton.
In a 2024 memoir titled Citizen: My Life After the White House, former President Clinton acknowledged having flown on Epstein’s private plane, known as the Lolita Express, for work related to the Clinton Global Initiative’s nonprofit efforts.
He expressed regret, stating, “I wish I hadn’t met him before,” and claimed it wasn’t worth the ensuing questions over the years.
It’s worth noting that Epstein reportedly visited the White House at least 17 times shortly after Clinton was inaugurated in 1993.
In December 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of minor sex trafficking and conspiracy, among other charges, and received a 20-year prison sentence.
As reported by another source, the DOJ has been involved with court proceedings related to Epstein, according to several reports.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche filed a motion in the Southern District of New York urging the court to release a transcript of a significant trial associated with the charges against Epstein.
Per the directive from the Attorney General, the Department of Justice is taking steps to have the court release the relevant transcript.
