The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the US Justice Department requesting all documents relevant to that case.
And the committee wants depositions from officials from the Biden, the Obama, Biden and Trump administrations.
That includes former president Bill Clinton and former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Congressman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky's first district, is chair of the oversight committee.
Gomer talked about the subpoenas last night on the Fox News Channel.
Is the oversight committee prepared to enter into a legal battle with the DOJ over the Epstein files?
You guys want the Clintons to tell us what they know about this, and many others will put up the list again.
So everyone can say.
Yeah, we're going to do what, what we said we do and what I think the American people want.
We're going to get the truth to the American people.
I don't think we'll have to put up a fight with the Department of Justice, because President Trump has said he's going to release the Epstein files.
Take him at his word.
Our House Oversight committee had a subcommittee meeting, the last week in August when we were in Washington.
And they voted in a bipartisan manner, not only to subpoena the Epstein files, but also to subpoena, a whole list of, people that were, supposedly involved in some form or fashion with the Epstein investigation, including six former attorneys general, as well as, of course, Bill and Hillary Clinton.
So, we're serious about this.
The media has tried to make it out that Republicans didn't want to get to the bottom of this, that the Republicans didn't want to be transferred.
I can assure you, Republicans vote transparency more than Democrats, and we're going to do our job.
We're going to provide oversight.
And I think that, we've got an administration that wants to be transparent.
So, I'm anxious to get started with this, and hopefully we'll be bringing people in very soon to depose them and interview them.
There's also criticism of Congressman Comer.
Democrats like Congressman Ro Khanna of California say there was no need to subpoena Hillary Clinton.
Cano says she has no connection to the case, and comer is just being unnecessarily Partizan.
There was no reason to have Secretary Clinton, including in the included in this subpoena.
That is Chairman Comer being Partizan about it.
Really we need to be hearing from Donald Trump.
And what we really need is all of the files released.
We're going to push for that, but we're also going to push as soon as we get back after Labor Day for Thomas Massie and my bill to be passed, to put every member of Congress on record so that we have all of the release of the Epstein files.
Cano was referring to a discharge petition he's pushing with Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky's fourth district, for the full release of the Epstein files in a discharge petition, members of Congress about to directly bring a bill to the floor for a vote, bypassing committees.
