The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to President Donald Trump and other former top officials.

The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. The committee’s actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high.

That’s great news! Why isn’t Trump being deposed along with the Clintons?

Obviously I know why but this is the question we need to be asking.

He needs to be, but sitting president and all. Plus, he would just simply lie about everything. It's worthless to listen to Trump. The truth never comes out of that asshole mouth of his.

When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.

Except here "it" is "child sexual abuse".

I want to know about the witnesses that said trump and epstein had their falling out in 2007. That would mean that trump definitely had "the privilege" of being on that island many times and there is evidence.

A Mar-a-Lago member told the Miami Herald that, in October 2007, Trump had “kicked Epstein out after Epstein harassed the daughter of a member.” Source

This also means that he knew what kind of dude epstein was because he was friends after his arrest.

May 2006: Palm Beach police officials sign paperwork to charge Epstein with multiple counts of unlawful sex with a minor, but the county’s top prosecutor, State Attorney Barry Krischer, takes the unusual step of sending the case to a grand jury. Source
