‘Unredacted' Epstein files – and the Clintons – subpoenaed by US House panel
Washington: US House Republicans subpoenaed the Justice Department, the Clintons and nearly a dozen former federal officials for information about the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, setting up a potential confrontation with the Trump administration. President Donald Trump and his top aides have faced a firestorm over their handling of the Epstein case, with supporters and critics alike demanding they release documents, financial records and information about Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and who may have committed crimes against underage girls. The House subpoena also swept in former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, the Democrats' 2016 presidential nominee, threatening to douse fresh accelerant on an issue that's bedevilled Trump and Republicans in recent weeks. Democrats made life so politically painful for House Republicans over Epstein that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early for its August break to avoid votes on publicly releasing the Epstein files. Democrats had repeatedly offered amendments to legislation to compel the administration to make the files public and GOP leaders halted work on major legislation. Trump has acknowledged he had a personal relationship with Epstein long ago and attended social gatherings with him, but has denied knowing anything about his sex-trafficking operation. The Wall Street Journal stoked new controversy over Trump's relationship with Epstein with a story last month that said the president once sent a suggestive birthday letter to Epstein. Trump denied the story and sued the news organisation. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Trump ally, demanded in a letter to Attorney-General Pam Bondi on Tuesday, Washington time, the 'full, complete, unredacted Epstein files,' including information about his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in sexually abusing underage women. He also issued subpoenas for depositions from an array of former high-ranking FBI and Justice Department officials, including former FBI Director James Comey.

'Australia, New Zealand, and France share the same commitment to the immediate release of all hostages held by Hamas. The large-scale and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and the implementation of a political solution based on two states, living side by side in peace and security,' Mr Macron said in a post on X. 'We are working together towards these goals ahead of the upcoming Conference on the Two-State Solution to be held in New York during the UN General Assembly.'
