House Withdraws Comey Subpoena in Epstein Probe

The House Oversight Committee withdrew a subpoena for former FBI Director James Comey after Comey sent an Oct. 1 letter to Chair Rep. James Comer saying he had no "knowledge" or "information relevant to the Committee’s investigation" into Jeffrey Epstein. Comey offered the written response in lieu of a deposition that had been scheduled for the committee; Comer accepted the letter under penalty of law and also reportedly withdrew similar subpoenas for former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland. The action is part of a broader GOP Oversight inquiry seeking Justice Department records and testimony about Epstein’s contacts and potential government ties.
