Bill Barr, former Trump attorney general, arrives to face House investigators in Epstein probe
The former attorney general oversaw Justice Department when convicted pedophile died in federal custody
Former Attorney General Bill Barr arrived to appear before House investigators on Monday as part of the House GOP’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein.
He was one of the many officials subpoenaed by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., earlier this month to appear before the panel and is part of a broader, bipartisan push in the House to uncover more information on the late financier and convicted pedophile.
"We're very excited. This will be our first deposition in the bipartisan investigation into the entire Epstein Island saga, so we've got a lot of questions for former Attorney General Barr," Comer told reporters shortly before the closed-door deposition began.
"I appreciate his willingness to come in, and hopefully this will be the first of many."
The Kentucky Republican also hinted the scope of Monday's questioning could go beyond Epstein, but maintained the late pedophile would be his main focus.
"The subpoena was just for Epstein. There are some other things that I'm curious about, so we'll see how it goes," Comer said in response to a question by Fox News Digital. "But obviously the purpose of this deposition is on Epstein."
Two Democrats on the committee, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., were also witnessed entering the room by Fox News Digital.
Barr served as attorney general during President Donald Trump’s first term and helmed the Justice Department when Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City after being indicted on charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.
He became embroiled in investigations into Epstein’s death in August 2019 in the immediate aftermath, given that the Department of Justice (DOJ) oversees the Bureau of Prisons.
"I can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups," Barr told the AP in 2019.
Barr arrived for his closed-door hearing just after 9 a.m. on Monday, and told reporters the "early bird gets the worm" before beginning his testimony.
Flash forward over six years later, and interest in the case, particularly over the Trump administration’s handling of it, has reignited a public and political firestorm.
The renewed interest stemmed from a memo from the FBI released last month when the agency revealed it would not release new documents from the case and that their review of it was closed.
In the memo, the FBI found there was "no incriminating ‘client list,’" nor was there "credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions."
"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," the agency stated.
