Newsworthy News - The House Oversight subcommittee voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton in a move that could unravel shocking connections to Jeffrey Epstein’s network...In a decisive move ... the House Oversight subcommittee voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with several former top Justice Department officials, as part of a broader investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Epstein, the infamous financier and convicted sex offender, had high-profile connections that have long evaded accountability. Now, the Clintons find themselves in the crosshairs, facing scrutiny over their alleged ties to Epstein and his convicted associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In the Justice Department’s much-criticized Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Former prosecutors said it was highly unusual — and potentially unprecedented — for a the department’s No. 2 official to personally interview a witness. Secrecy in a criminal investigation is normal, but the prosecutors involved in the case would typically be included in questioning.
“I’ve never heard of a deputy attorney general doing anything like this before,” said a former senior Justice Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Victims of Epstein and Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 of recruiting and grooming multiple teenage girls to be sexually abused by the late financier, questioned the lack of transparency as well. Jack Scarola, a lawyer representing roughly 20 Epstein victims, said he asked to attend the Maxwell interviews but was not included.
Berit Berger, a former federal prosecutor in New York, said the interviews by Blanche, who worked as Trump’s former defense lawyer, may be performative.
“It may be just a way of being able to say, ‘Look, we dotted every I and crossed every T,’” she said. “There’s value to being able to say that we’ve tried to speak to everyone we possibly could, including the co-defendant.”
