Committee seeks to obtain Epstein documents, extends invitations to Clintons for testimony
In the ongoing investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein, several high-ranking officials, including former US Attorney General Pam Bondi, former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have been summoned for non-public interviews [1].
As of early August 2025, there is no public evidence that subpoenas have been issued specifically to Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, or other high-ranking officials in connection to the Epstein investigation [2]. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is actively seeking to unseal grand jury exhibits and testimony from federal probes into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The process underway involves notifying individuals named in these materials before public release [2].
Meanwhile, Congressional committees and task forces continue to press the DOJ for briefings and document releases related to the investigation and prosecution of Epstein [1]. On August 5, 2025, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subcommittees sent letters requesting briefings and the public release of the full Epstein files, reflecting ongoing congressional demands for transparency [1].
Attorney General Pam Bondi has been asked to release files by August 19 [3]. She has filed motions, consistent with President Trump’s direction, to produce grand jury testimony subjects to court approval, reflecting limited but deliberate disclosures ongoing in the investigation [1].
The DOJ is in the process of notifying individuals mentioned in grand jury exhibits that have not yet been public, in preparation for unsealing these documents by mid-August 2025 [2]. This suggests any subpoenas or formal requests might be private or still under consideration [2].
Parallel investigations continue targeting financial aspects of Epstein’s network, including probes into tax and estate planning activities, which may provide indirect avenues into connected individuals and operations [3].
In a separate development, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for her role in building a ring for the sexual abuse of girls [4].
In a report published by the "Wall Street Journal", it was revealed that Trump is reported to have sent a birthday greeting to Epstein in a 2002 album, and the album also contained a greeting from Bill Clinton for Epstein's 50th birthday [5]. However, both Trump and Clinton have denied being the authors of these greetings, according to the "Wall Street Journal" [5].
In Hamm, Germany, the Goethestraße is now open again, and construction work at the West Gate has begun [6]. No information about Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes was provided in the context of the Hamm news section.
