House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed several former Attorneys General and FBI directors to investigate the federal government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The list includes Eric Holder, William Barr, and James Comey, but notably excludes Alex Acosta, the prosecutor who oversaw Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal. Skeptics argue that the investigation may focus on political optics rather than uncovering intelligence connections or sex trafficking crimes.
