Republicans and Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena a slate of former top officials in a rare show of bipartisanship.
Oversight Chairman James Comer said the committee’s new ranking Democrat, California Rep. Robert Garcia, joined Republicans in authorizing subpoenas for Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.
“I commend Representative Robert Garcia for being bipartisan in one of his first official acts as Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, Comer wrote on X. (RELATED: Markwayne Mullin Calls For Immediate Release Of All Epstein Court Records)

Garcia also sent a letter to Comer urging Republicans to immediately subpoena the Department of Justice for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement, Garcia framed the move as a Democratic victory.
“The Oversight Committee is preparing subpoenas for these individuals and the Epstein files and will issue them in the near future,” he said. “Committee Democrats won the fight for transparency, successfully passing a motion to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files,” he continued. “Today, I’m writing to Chairman Comer requesting he immediately make good on his promise to issue the official subpoena.”
The American people have waited long enough for the Epstein files.

“This is not the time for Republicans to drag their feet,” he added.
“We will keep pushing until the American people finally get the truth they deserve – nothing less,” Comer said. (RELATED: Majority Whip Emmer Shrugs Off Epstein Client List As ‘Non-Issue’)
Democrats pushed for a vote compelling Chairman Comer to issue a subpoena for the files, which Rep. Garcia hailed in a post on X as “a major victory for Oversight Democrats.”
