The US congressional committee investigating convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has issued subpoenas for a number of high-profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary,

The House Oversight Committee issued the legal summonses to conduct sworn questioning of the Clintons and eight former top law enforcement officials.

The requests were made as part of a congressional investigation that some politicians believe may show links between Epstein and US President Donald Trump, and other former top officials.

Bill Clinton, a Democrat, was among a number of Epstein’s famous former friends, including Trump.

Both men have said they knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes until he was charged, and Epstein’s accusers have not alleged any wrongdoing by Trump or Clinton.
