FORMER US President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary have been subpoenaed to give bombshell testimony regarding Jeffery Epstein.
The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, has recently insisted on sworn testimonies from eight former senior law enforcement officials.
The Clintons, along with former Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, who served during President Trump’s initial term, have been summoned to testify before the committee in October.
The panel issued a subpoena to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for records related to Epstein in its investigation into the paedophile.
The effort also called for other high-profile Democrats with expected ties to Epstein to be subpoenaed.
James Comer, the Committee Chair, made this announcement shortly after DOJ officials had an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking minors.
She was moved to a minimum-security facility in Texas earlier this week.
Lawmakers say the probe could reveal connections to President Trump and other former senior officials.
The investigation kicked off after Trump faced backlash over a two-page memo which stated that no Epstein “client list” exists.
This development occurs as the Justice Department, overseen by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, considers whether to disclose the transcript of Maxwell’s confidential interview.
The two-day session took place last week in Tallahassee, reportedly concerning about 100 individuals linked to Epstein, with Maxwell’s attorney confirming she addressed “every single question” under a grant of limited immunity.
