Oversight chair working to have Blanche testify in Epstein probe 10.06.2026

CBS News

Rep. James Comer, the Republican leader of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is seeking to have Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testify in July regarding the Justice Department's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The committee aims to determine if any relevant documents remain undisclosed. This effort follows testimony from former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed she delegated oversight of the document review process to Blanche while he served as deputy attorney general. The ongoing probe has already involved interviews with figures such as Bill Clinton, Howard Lutnick, and Lesley Groff, with Bill Gates testifying on Wednesday. Additionally, Comer intends to question Alan Dershowitz following new information from survivors and Ms. Groff. The inquiry focuses on the transparency of the 3 million pages of files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act and Blanche's specific role in interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell.
