High‑Profile Subpoenas Target Former President Bill Clinton
On Tuesday, August 5, Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer issued subpoenas to a slate of prominent figures in the federal inquiry into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoenas demand testimony regarding the financier’s alleged involvement in a widespread trafficking network.
Among the recipients are:
- Bill Clinton, former U.S. President and his wife, Hillary Clinton
- Several former U.S. Attorneys General
- Past directors of the FBI
In the letter filed to Clinton, Comer cited four flights Clinton took on Epstein’s private jet. The complaint also alleges that Clinton exerted pressure on Vanity Fair to suppress coverage of Epstein’s trafficking claims.

Key Points from Comer’s Letter
- “Based on your past relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, the Committee believes you hold information relevant to their activities,” Comer wrote.
- He added, “Your family appears to have had a close relationship with both Jeffrey Epstein and his co‑conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.”
