Barr Faces Congress Over Epstein Death; Clinton Subpoenas Issued

Former Attorney General Bill Barr testified before the House Oversight Committee, addressing questions related to Jeffrey Epstein's case and his death while Barr was in office.

Congress has issued subpoenas to the Justice Department for all Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell files, including redacted victim names, as part of its ongoing investigation.

Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in federal custody while awaiting trial for sexually abusing underage girls, an event occurring during Bill Barr's tenure as Attorney General.

The Justice Department's Inspector General criticized the Bureau of Prisons for failures contributing to Epstein's death but found no evidence of criminality in the incident.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer also subpoenaed former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Merrick Garland for their involvement in the broader Epstein investigation.
