A Republican<\/a>-led congressional committee has subpoenaed documents from the estate of the disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, according to a release on Monday.<\/p>\n

The subpoena was signed by congressman James Comer, the Republican chair of the House oversight committee. The estate is registered in the US Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n

The letter demands that Epstein\u2019s estate produce documents including a book that was compiled with notes from friends for his 50th birthday, his last will and testament, agreements he signed with prosecutors, his contacts, \u201cBlack Book\u201d, any non-disclosure agreements, and his financial transactions and holdings.<\/p>\n

The move is the latest twist in a flurry of events surrounding the convicted sex trafficker\u2019s links to rich and powerful people, especially Donald Trump<\/a> whose rightwing base has long been consumed by conspiracy theories around Epstein.<\/p>\n

Comer wrote to Epstein\u2019s executors, attorneys Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, saying the committee \u201cis reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government\u2019s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein\u2019s death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the committee issued a subpoena<\/a> to the justice department for records on the Epstein case. About 33,000 pages were handed over last week but Democrats on the committee said many were already in the public domain.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the committee has issued deposition subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton, former attorney generals James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr and Jeff Sessions, among others.<\/p>\n

The new demand signals that the committee may not be satisfied by the recent release of an interview with Epstein co-conspirator Maxwell \u2013 a former British socialite \u2013 that was recently conducted by deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.<\/p>\n

Epstein\u2019s estate, which was originally valued at $600m, dwindled to $40m after it paid out an estimated $170m in settlements to the more than 200 women and girls who were victims of his sex-trafficking operation.<\/p>\n

A further $105m was paid to settle racketeering charges brought by the Virgin Islands. But it was recently re-capitalized by a tax refund to around $150m. Beneficiaries of the estate are said to include former girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, and the executors, Indyke and Kahn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Republican-led congressional committee has subpoenaed documents from the estate of the disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-373539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115092050789635337","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
