Bill and Hillary Clinton subpoened in House committee’s Epstein probe

Former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary are among a group of prominent people who are sent to summon notes from the Congress Committee investigating the deceased sexual perpetrators, Jeffrey Ibstein.

Republican James Kumler, Chairman of the House of Representatives Supervision Committee, issued call notes on Tuesday to Clinton, as well as eight other individuals.

The committee is seeking information about the history of Epstein, after the administration of President Donald Trump decided not to launch more federal files in the late financier.

This decision sparked anger among Trump’s supporters and some Democrats, and many believe that the files include a “list of customers” of famous men to Epstein.

As the rift between Trump and his base to maintain Epstein continues, the committee, which consists of both Democrats and Republicans, voted recently to issue call notes.

They made a wide network through the leadership of the Ministry of Justice during the departments of George W. Bush, Obama, Trump and Bidin, and the committee also summoned the same administration to the records related to Ibstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers, the Epstein partner who is currently serving a 20 -year prison sentence for sex trafficking, indicated that she is ready to testify before the strong investigation committee, with strict legal protection. Nevertheless, its August 11, indefinite deposit was postponed.

The Epstein’s legal epic extended to two decades, as Florida and the Federal Investigation Office first examined the well -rising man allegations of sexual assault in the early first decade of the twentieth century.

Kumler wrote in letters to each person that the committee must “supervise the implementation of the federal government of sex trafficking laws in general, specifically, to deal with the investigation, Mr. Epstein” and Maxwell.

He also indicated that the deposits will start this month and continue during the fall, with the Bill Clinton decision on October 14.

Former lawyers Merik Garland, Loreta Lynch, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzales were called on, alongside Jeff Sessions and William Bar, who led the Ministry of Justice during the first period of Trump. Former FBI directors James Kumi and Robert Muller were also sent calls.

The Clinton administration has preceded the investigation of Epstein, but the couple’s critics have long questioned Epstein.

Spokesman She confessed Bill Clinton made four flights with employees on the Epstein plane in 2002 and 2003, and he met Epstein in New York in 2002. Clinton also visited Epstein’s apartment in New York at the time.

The letters are cited to Clementon with these incidents, as well as other alleged meetings and communications, as reasons for calling them.

In 2019, a former president spokesman said, “He knows nothing about the terrible crimes, Jeffrey Epstein, as a guilty in Florida a few years ago, or that recently directed in New York,” said a spokesman for the former president.

Clinton and Bill Clinton’s journalist office immediately did not respond to the comment.

The Ministry of Justice had no comment.

The committee seeks to obtain all management and communications documents on Epstein and Maxwell “related or refer to human trafficking, the exploitation of minors, sexual assault, or associated activity”, as well as files of American criminal cases against Maxwell and Ibstein, documents from the 2007 agreement to sue Epstein and previous federal investigations.

It is not immediately clear whether the individuals whom you called will appear in front of the committee, and if they do so, if they will witness publicly.

Over the past 200 years, only four other former presidents have received summons from Congress committees, and only two have given a certificate.

It is worth noting that the committee that was achieved on January 6, 2021 voted the Capitol riot during a televised hearing to summon Trump, who then filed a lawsuit to stop him. The summons order was dropped when the committee was dissolved.

Federal public prosecutors accused Epstein of sex trafficking for minors and other crimes in 2019, during the first Trump administration.

He died due to suicide in prison in August, and almost many people began to question the circumstances of his death.

This summer, Prosecutor Bam Bondi announced its management, after a review,There is no evidence of the long -awaited “customer list”. She also said that the evidence supported Epstein died because of suicide and that the government would not launch any other files.

Ads have angered some of Trump’s supporters, who promised his campaign to issue records.

The battle between Republicans in the House of Representatives has grown to the issue to the extent that Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson sent legislators to the home early July To prevent voting on the version of Epstein files.

With the increasing demands of the Trump administration to issue more Epstein’s records, the Ministry of Justice He recently met with Maxwell, She is currently seeking to launch the texts of the Great Persons Authority of its case. On Tuesday, Maxwell’s lawyer said she opposed the release of the texts.

The BBC asked the White House to comment on the summons.
