House committee subpoenas Jeffrey Epstein’s estate

From PBS NewsHour.

The House Oversight Committee on Monday subpoenaed the estate of the late Jeffrey Epstein. The panel led by Republican Chair James Comer is seeking documents like Epstein’s will and anything resembling a — quote — "list of clients." They’re also seeking a book of letters reportedly compiled by his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell that was given to Epstein for his 50th birthday. It’s the latest in a broader bipartisan effort to address public calls for more information about the handling of Epstein’s case. His estate’s attorneys have until September 8 to respond.
