Vice President JD Vance has added fuel to the GOP‘s investigation into former President Bill and First Lady Hillary Clinton’s ties to former financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
During an appearance on Fox News‘ Sunday Morning Futures, Vance told host Maria Bartiromo that ‘We know Clinton allegedly went to Epstein’s infamous ‘island 26 times, 28 times.’
The vice president also added that it was ‘totally appropriate’ for House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) ‘to be asking what was going on on that island.’
Comer issued deposition subpoenas on Tuesday to Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton, who have been called to appear before his Committee in October.”The Democrats have tried to make this Epstein thing about anything but the fact that Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein island all the time, who knows what they did, it’s totally reasonable to ask these questions,’ Vance told Bartiromo.
‘What you saw in the House’s subpoena is, they’re trying to investigate all of the things related to this particular case. I know a lot of Americans want answers, I certainly want answers, and I think James Comer and the team in the House, they’re doing the right thing,’ Vance added during his segment.
Several former Trump-era Department of Justice officials, as well as historical Democrat power players, were subpoenaed over the files as well.
Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, who served under President Trump during his first term, are among the Republicans who have been subpoenaed for testimony.
Chairman Comer also issued a subpoena to the current Trump-led US Department of Justice for records related to Epstein.
It’s a spectacular move by Republicans to pressure Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi to put out more documents as the administration has been embroiled in controversy over Epstein ‘cover-up’ claims.
House Republicans voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and his wife for testimony about Epstein on July 23rd.
The effort also called for other high-profile Democrats with expected ties to the late pedophile to be subpoenaed.
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland will also be compelled to testify.
So will former special counsel Robert Mueller, who oversaw Trump’s Russia collusion case.
The full list of officials called to appear before House Oversight also includes Former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, Former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Former US Attorney General Eric Holder, Former US Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Former FBI Director James Comey.
