A House Oversight subcommittee voted Wednesday to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton over their alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) introduced the motion during a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee hearing, where the Republican-led panel approved the subpoenas through a voice vote, with no roll call recorded.
The list of subpoenas proposed by Perry also includes several former top Justice Department officials, such as ex-FBI Director James Comey, former special counsel Robert Mueller, and former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales. Perry stated the effort is meant to “expand the full committee’s investigation into Ms. Maxwell.”
Epstein frequently visited the White House during Bill Clinton’s presidency.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) must formally issue the subpoenas for the Clintons and the other named officials before they can be compelled to provide testimony or documents to the panel.
“Subpoenas will be issued in the future,” a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told The Post.
In his 2024 memoir, Citizen: My Life After the White House, former President Bill Clinton acknowledged that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet — infamously dubbed the “Lolita Express” — as part of his work with the Clinton Global Initiative nonprofit.
“I wish I had never met him,” Clinton wrote of Epstein, admitting that traveling on his plane was “not worth the years of questioning afterward.”
Clinton, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, insisted he had no knowledge that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were involved in sex trafficking minors.
Visitor logs show that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times, starting shortly after Clinton took office in 1993.

The subcommittee also approved a measure instructing Chairman Comer to subpoena the Justice Department for all communications between Biden administration officials — including President Joe Biden — and the DOJ concerning the Epstein case.
The subcommittee’s actions follow Chairman Comer’s subpoena of Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been serving a 20-year prison sentence since 2022, to testify before the Oversight Committee.
Her deposition is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 11 at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, where Maxwell has been held since her conviction on sex-trafficking conspiracy charges.
