A House Oversight panel subcommittee voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton Wednesday over their alleged ties to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) introduced the motion for subpoenas during a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee hearing, and it was approved by the Republican-led panel via voice vote, with no roll call taken.
The Clintons and several former top Justice Department officials – ex-FBI Director James Comey, one-time special counsel Robert Mueller and former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales – were included in the list of subpoenas sought by Perry in order to “expand the full committees investigation into Ms. Maxwell.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) would need to formally issue the subpoenas to the Clintons and the others for them to be compelled to provide testimony or documents to the panel.
“Subpoenas will be issued in the future,” a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told The Post.
The former president acknowledged in his 2024 book “Citizen: My Life After the White House” that he flew aboard Epstein’s private plane – nicknamed the Lolita Express — in connection to his work with his Clinton Global Initiative nonprofit.
“I wish I had never met him,” Clinton wrote of Epstein, adding that traveling on his plane was “not worth the years of questioning afterward.”
The former president, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the Epstein case, claimed that he had no idea Epstein and Maxwell were sex trafficking minors.
According to visitor logs, Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times, beginning shortly after Clinton was sworn into office in 1993.
The subcommittee also approved a measure directing Comer to subpoena the Justice Department for the release of all communications between Biden administration officials – including former President Joe Biden – and the DOJ related to the Epstein case.
The subcommittee’s actions come after Comer subpoenaed Maxwell, who has been serving a 20-year prison sentence since 2022, to sit for a deposition with the Oversight Committee.
The deposition has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 11, at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee, where Maxwell has been incarcerated since her conviction on sex trafficking conspiracy charges.
