The U.S. Department of Justice has reinvigorated its effort to make public grand jury records related to the Epstein case, following a court's decision earlier this year to put the effort on hold. On Capitol Hill, the House Committee on Oversight is expanding its investigation—issuing subpoenas to two banks, requesting documents from the U.S. Virgin Islands, and seeking advice from survivors of the Epstein case. Meanwhile, the committee's efforts to interview Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's long-time friend and partner, accused of being involved in Epstein's sex trafficking network) have failed, as Maxwell stated she would invoke her rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution (the right to refuse to answer questions that might incriminate her). In addition, in New York, the office of Manhattan Federal Prosecutor Jay Clayton has been asked to investigate connections between Democrats and Epstein, a request that has caused confusion and concern.
