Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, said Tuesday morning that he wants to give the White House “space” to release the Epstein information on its own, despite the bipartisan push for legislation that aims to force the release of more documents.

James Comer, the Chairman for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a subpoena for Ghislaine Maxwell Wednesday, according to a press release from his office. The subpoena came on the same day a Florida judge denied a request by President Donald Trump's administration to unseal transcripts from the grand jury testimony.

The Justice Department says officials want to know if the imprisoned Epstein associate has information about anyone else “who has committed crimes against victims.”
