“House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) today announced updates on the Committee’s review of the federal government’s investigation of Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms Ghislaine Maxwell. First, Chairman Comer today issued a subpoena to the Epstein estate for documents and communications in its possession, custody, or control in unredacted form,” says the Chairbilly’s committee staff in a press release issued on Monday.

“‘The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation of Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr Epstein’s death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials,’ wrote Chairman Comer. ‘It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee’s investigation and legislative goals. Further, it is our understanding the Estate is ready and willing to provide these documents to the Committee pursuant to a subpoena. To that end, please see the attached subpoena for documents for delivery on or before September 8, 2025.'”

“Second, Chairman Comer announced Alexander Acosta, former US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and former Secretary of the US Department of Labor, will appear voluntarily for a transcribed interview on September 19, 2025,” the release continued without explaining why it’s a “voluntary interview” and not a subpoenaed deposition requiring Acosta to go under oath.
