A House Oversight Committee subcommittee panel voted to subpoena each of the individuals, as well as the DOJ, in two respective votes last month during an unrelated hearing.

It comes after Comer followed through on an earlier full committee vote to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, a close former Epstein associate who was sentenced to 20 years in prison "for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade," according to a press release by the Southern District of New York.

Comer has agreed to delay Maxwell's deposition until after the Supreme Court heard her petition to overturn the conviction, however.

Hillary Clinton is being compelled to appear on Oct. 9, and Bill Clinton on Oct. 14, according to letters sent to both of them, respectively.

Barr and Sessions, who both served as attorneys general during Trump's first term, were subpoenaed to appear Aug. 18 and Aug. 28, respectively.

Bondi then had deputy attorney general Todd Blanche travel down to the Florida prison where Maxwell was kept until recently for a sit-down with her and her lawyer.

The DOJ has also pushed for the release of grand jury testimony related to Epstein and Maxwell's cases.

Democrats, meanwhile, have seized on the discord with their own newfound calls for transparency related to Epstein's case – prompting accusations of hypocrisy from the right.

"Democrats have now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make. The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn't do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said last month.

"It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the attorney general to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did."
