The panel's Republican chairman, Representative James Comer of Kentucky, says the Clintons are not accused of wrongdoing but must answer questions about Epstein's involvement with their charitable foundation. Trump socialized extensively with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s, before Epstein's 2008 conviction of soliciting prostitution from a minor. Democrats are also accusing Trump's Justice Department of withholding records of a woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The Justice Department has said it is looking at the material in question and will publish it if appropriate. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking crimes.
