House Oversight Committee subpoenas Clintons and former officials in Epstein probe
By Patrick Lewis // Feb 26, 2026

  • Bill and Hillary Clinton have been legally compelled to testify in closed-door depositions (August–October 2025), marking the first time a former U.S. president faces congressional subpoena in such an investigation.
  • Former Attorneys General (Lynch, Garland, Holder, Sessions, Barr) and FBI Directors (Comey, Mueller) subpoenaed to address systemic failures in holding Epstein's network accountable.
  • The DOJ's recent dismissal of Epstein's "client list" claims has fueled suspicions of a deliberate cover-up, prompting the HOC to escalate its probe into elite obstruction.
  • The investigation will scrutinize inconsistencies in Epstein's 2019 jail death (officially ruled suicide) and whether he was silenced to protect high-profile associates.
  • Part of a Republican effort to expose deep-state corruption, elite impunity and institutional collusion, with potential perjury charges for non-compliance.

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been formally subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee (HOC) to testify under oath regarding their connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The depositions, set to take place in Chappaqua, New York—where the Clintons reside—are scheduled for late August through October 2025. This marks the first time a former U.S. president has been legally compelled to testify in a congressional investigation of this nature.

The subpoenas follow months of resistance from the Clintons, who initially sought to avoid closed-door depositions in favor of public hearings. However, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) insisted on recorded, sworn testimony to ensure accountability and prevent evasion. After threats of criminal contempt proceedings, the Clintons ultimately relented and agreed to comply.

DOJ and FBI leaders also subpoenaed

In addition to the Clintons, the HOC has subpoenaed multiple former Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials, including former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The sweeping subpoenas indicate that Republicans are targeting systemic failures that allowed Epstein and his associates to evade justice for decades.

The DOJ recently closed its Epstein review, dismissing claims of a "client list" that allegedly implicated powerful elites. This decision has fueled accusations of a deliberate cover-up, prompting the HOC to take further action.

Epstein's mysterious death and elite connections under scrutiny

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender with ties to global elites, died in federal custody in 2019 under suspicious circumstances officially ruled a suicide. However, inconsistencies in the forensic evidence and prison security failures have led many to question whether Epstein was silenced to protect high-profile associates.

The HOC's investigation seeks to uncover potential misconduct or obstruction by government officials who may have shielded Epstein's network. Epstein's infamous "black book," flight logs and witness testimonies suggest extensive involvement by politicians, billionaires and intelligence figures in his criminal enterprise.

A broader Republican effort to expose corruption

This probe is part of a larger Republican-led effort to investigate deep-state corruption, elite impunity and institutional failures that have enabled criminal networks to operate with impunity. The Clintons' long-standing ties to Epstein—including Bill Clinton's multiple flights on Epstein's "Lolita Express"—have raised persistent questions about their involvement or knowledge of his crimes.

Hillary Clinton previously claimed she and her husband were willing to testify but preferred public hearings. However, Comer rejected this request, insisting on sworn depositions to prevent scripted responses and ensure accountability.

What comes next?

The depositions will be conducted under oath, with transcripts reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation. If witnesses refuse to answer questions or provide false testimony, they could face perjury charges. Given Epstein's connections to intelligence agencies, financial elites and political figures, the hearings could expose explosive revelations about how power operates behind the scenes.

The HOC's aggressive stance suggests that Republicans are determined to hold accountable those who may have enabled Epstein's crimes or obstructed justice. With public trust in government at historic lows, this investigation could have far-reaching implications—potentially exposing a web of corruption that extends to the highest levels of power.

Conclusion: A reckoning for the elite?

The subpoenas represent a significant escalation in the Epstein investigation, signaling that House Republicans are willing to challenge powerful figures who have long evaded scrutiny. Whether this leads to genuine accountability or further cover-ups remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the truth about Epstein's network—and those who protected it—may finally be coming to light.

As the depositions proceed, the American public will be watching closely to see whether justice prevails—or whether, once again, the elite escape consequences.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, the House Oversight Committee's subpoenas of the Clintons and former DOJ/FBI officials are a long-overdue step toward exposing the deep-state corruption and elite pedophile networks that have operated with impunity for decades. This investigation must uncover the truth about Epstein's connections to powerful figures and hold them accountable for their role in systemic cover-ups and crimes against children.
