House Republicans have voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for testimony about Jefferey Epstein.
A motion from Rep. Scott Perry to have Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., solicit the Clinton’s testimony passed Wednesday afternoon.
The effort also will called for other high-profile Democrats with expected ties to the late pedophile to be subpoenaed.
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland will also be compelled to testify. So will former special counsel Robert Mueller, who oversaw Trump’s Russia collusion case.
‘I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton Holder, Jr., Merrick Brian Garland, Robert Swan Mueller III, William Pelham Barr, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third, and Alberto Gonzales,’ Perry said during the session.

Comer, as committee chair, will now have to prepare subpoenas for each of the individuals.
The push to force the Democrats to testify comes one day after Comer subpoenaed Epstein’s longtime partner and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex trafficking charges.
The push for additional Epstein-related testimony comes amid heightened media scrutiny over the sex offender’s unreleased Department of Justice and FBI files.
Earlier this month, the DOJ and FBI put out a joint unsigned memo indicating that no further files regarding Epstein shall be released.
Immediately this outraged many on the right who believed the Trump administration would unveil the highly sought after documents.
Since then, the administration has pushed to have a grand jury unseal files regarding the Epstein case.
The DOJ has also indicated it wants to elicit additional information from Maxwell, and it has worked to set up a time for her to meet with officials.
The Oversight Committee will also be speaking with Maxwell. Comer announced on Wednesday that he is set to depose the Epstein accomplice on August 11.

The rush to do so comes amid fears that she could be endangered in prison before she can reveal anything about her or Epstein’s case.
‘I requested that she be placed immediately into protective custody and monitored – by guards as well as working surveillance equipment – around the clock, so that our justice system does not again fail the survivors of this Epstein nightmare,’ Republican Perry posted on X Wednesday.
It is unclear when Comer will send the subpoenas but Oversight Committee staff have indicated it will be soon.
Comer issued a formal subpoena to Maxwell on Wednesday just one day after the committee voted to do so.
