The president of the Supervision Committee of the House of Representatives, James Eat, issued numerous new citations on Tuesday, including one for the Department of Justice for the full archives of Jeffrey Epstein and another for deposits in the coming months with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Eating said that the Department of Justice wants to deliver the “complete, complete and not written Epstein files” on August 19 or before.

“While the department makes efforts to publicly discover and disseminate additional information related to Mr. Epstein and the cases of Mrs. Maxwell, it is imperative that Congress perform the supervision of the application of the federal government on the laws of sexual trafficking in general and specifically its management of the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Epstein and Mrs.
In addition to the Clinton, the panel led by the Republicans issued citations for the statements of James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales. Republicans in the Committee said they are looking for information from these officials about Epstein archives.
Some Republicans have fed the intrigue and conspiracies of Epstein that surround the case for years, and President Donald Trump himself weighs several times. Some have questioned who else could be in an alleged “customer list.” The Department of Justice and the FBI said in a brief memorandum last month that a review found that there was no list.

The eating citations occur after the Democrats in the panel forced a vote to cast a citation just before the recess where three Republicans of the House of Representatives supported the effort. Republicans in the committee pressed to amend that citation to include communications from officials of the Biden Administration and the Department of Justice, as well as the Clinton.
The representative of the member of the supervision classification, Robert García, said last month that the measure was part of the struggle of the Democrats for “for transparency and responsibility in Epstein’s archives.”
A summons of Congress is a formal legal order issued by a Congress Committee or an individual that forces his testimony.
Epstein was accused of sex trafficking and died for suicide in jail in 2019. Ghislaine Maxwell, associate of Epstein, was arrested and accused of sexual trafficking in 2020 during the first Trump administration and sentenced in 2021.
