House Oversight calls on DOJ to interview key Epstein witnesses, says govt. ‘failed’ survivors
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) formally asked the Justice Department to interview key witnesses in the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, declaring that the federal government “failed” survivors for decades. The referral escalates congressional scrutiny of DOJ’s handling of the Epstein investigation and its aftermath. Comer’s letter did not specify which witnesses he wants interviewed, leaving the scope of any new testimony unclear. The request matters because it could reopen questions about how federal prosecutors built their case and whether additional evidence was overlooked. Watch whether DOJ agrees to schedule interviews and whether Comer follows with subpoenas or a public hearing.
