Former FBI Director James Comey will not testify as part of the Republican investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Comey was scheduled to be deposed Tuesday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of the panel’s ongoing probe into Epstein, the deceased child sex offender. Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) had subpoenaed Comey in August for that testimony.

But in a letter to Comer dated Oct. 1, Comey said he simply has no “knowledge” or “information relevant to the Committee’s investigation.”

“I offer this letter in lieu of a deposition that would unproductively consume the Committee’s scarce time and resources,” Comey wrote.

Comey had served as deputy attorney general from 2003 to 2005, and then as FBI director for almost four years beginning in September of 2013.
