Clintons Subpoenaed in Explosive Epstein Probe: What Are They Hiding?
The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify about their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, alongside former Justice Department officials, as part of a probe into the handling of his sex trafficking case. The investigation, fueled by bipartisan support and public pressure, demands unredacted Justice Department files and explores Epstein’s network, including his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, compelling their testimony regarding their connections to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. The subpoenas, part of a broader investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein’s case, also target former Attorneys General William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Merrick Garland, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller.
Comer’s letter to Bill Clinton highlighted his travels, stating, “By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003. During one of these trips, you were even pictured receiving a ‘massage’ from one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.” The letter also noted Clinton’s alleged ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, adding, “You were also allegedly close to Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein co-conspirator, and attended an intimate dinner with her in 2014, three years after public reports about her involvement in Mr. Epstein’s abuse of minors.”
The investigation gained bipartisan traction after three Republicans joined Democrats in an 8-2 vote on July 24 to subpoena the Justice Department for the “full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files” by August 19, led by Rep. Summer Lee. Rep. Scott Perry’s motion to summon the Clintons and former officials passed by voice vote. The probe intensified after the Justice Department’s July 2025 announcement that no further prosecutions were warranted, sparking outrage among Trump supporters who suspect a cover-up.
On July 31, Maxwell, recently transferred to a minimum-security Texas prison, met Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for nine hours. Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, called the session “productive,” stating Maxwell “answered every single question” about roughly 100 Epstein associates, adding she said nothing harmful about Trump, noting he “never did anything in her presence that would have caused concern.” Trump, who has not ruled out pardoning Maxwell, said, “I’m allowed to do it,” but hasn’t considered it deeply. Social media on X reflects public frustration, with one user posting, “Why hide the Epstein files if there’s no client list?” The Clintons are scheduled to testify on October 9 and 14, respectively, as the committee seeks to uncover federal mishandlings in Epstein’s case.
