What began as a long, murky shadow over Jeffrey Epstein’s elite network has erupted into a direct confrontation with some of the most protected names in modern politics. House Oversight Chair James Comer has drawn a line that can’t easily be walked back: the Clintons either answer detailed questions about their Epstein connections or face the spectacle of contempt proceedings. Years of rumors, flight logs, and unguarded photographs have been forced into the unforgiving language of subpoenas, deadlines, and sworn testimony.
But the net is no longer circling just two people. Former attorneys general, FBI leaders, and senior officials now find themselves dragged into the same scrutiny they once controlled. Each document request hints at quiet deals, stalled investigations, and decisions that kept Epstein insulated for years. Inside those institutions, reputations are fracturing, alliances are straining, and the old confidence that secrets could stay buried is finally collapsing.
