Oversight subpoenas Jeffrey Epstein's Estate

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein's estate Monday as part of its probe into the convicted sex offender.Why it matters: The panel is seeking records that could shed new light on Epstein's dealings, including a "birthday book" reportedly prepared for him by his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also announced that former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta will appear for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19.The Justice Department concluded that Acosta demonstrated "poor judgment" when he signed off on a widely criticized 2008 plea deal for Epstein.Driving the news: "It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee's investigation and legislative goals," Comer said in a statement.The subpoena sets a Sept. 8 deadline for turning over the documents. Catch up quick: DOJ last week delivered "thousands of pages of documents" pertaining to its Epstein probe that the committee also had subpoenaed.The Oversight Committee is also seeking to compel testimony from a number of former government officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey.Comer announced Monday that the committee will accept formal written declarations from former Attorneys General Alberto Gonzelez, Eric Holder and Jeff Sessions that they have "no information" pertaining to Epstein. All were previously subpoenaed to appear for depositions as part of the committee's investigation.
