The prosecutor general of the Bush era to testify in the Epstein investigation of House Oversight

A former prosecutor general of the administration of George W. Bush testifies to investigators from the Chamber’s supervisory committee on Tuesday.

Alberto Gonzales, who led the Ministry of Justice (DoJ) from February 2005 in mid-September 2007, is the second witness which is called in the Bipartisan House survey on Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

It is not immediately clear how many legislators will appear during the closed -door deposit, which should be widely led by the staff. The chairman of the James Comer Chamber’s supervisory committee, R-Ky., Should however attend.

Gonzales notably led the DOJ during the first interviews with the Federal Prosecutors of Florida for the famous non-prostitution agreement of Epstein, which was trained in 2007 and finalized in 2008.

However, he left shortly before his signature – something that Commer noted in a letter of assignment to Gonzales earlier this month.

“Your mandate as an American prosecutor general, from 2005 to the end of 2007, coincided with a period of time when the FBI investigated Jeffrey Epstein for sexual crimes, an assistant American prosecutor in the southern district of Florida for the 60 Epstein counts project, and the American prosecutor’s office for the southern district of Florida To Mr. Epstein, leading to the signing of the Epstein non-repair agreement only a week after your departure, “wrote Comer.

The chamber’s surveillance committee sent a wave of quotes to appear on Epstein earlier this month, launching a bipartite survey on the late pedophile.

In addition to Gonzales, assignments have also been published to request depositions from former FBI directors, Robert Mueller and James Comey, former General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Alex Acosta, former Trump Labor Secretary, who approved the non-prevision agreement, is notably excluded from the list.

The assignments were led by a bipartite vote during a hearing of subcommittee of surveillance of the room unrelated to illegal immigrant children at the end of July.

The renewed interest in the case of Epstein seized Capitol Hill after the treatment by the Doj of the case stimulated a revolt of the GOP of figures of the far right.

The Doj actually declared the closed case After an “exhaustive journal”, revealing that Epstein had no “list of customers”, did not sing “eminent individuals” and confirmed that he had died by suicide in a New York prison while waiting for prosecution.

Democrats have seized discord with new calls for transparency in the case of Epstein – stimulating accusations of hypocrisy of their republican colleagues.

Indeed, the bipartite unit whose investigation was launched with quickly disintegrated after the first witness, Barr, was dismissed last week.

The Suhas Subramanyam representatives, D-VA., And Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who attended a part of the Barr depot, left the room halfway to the rest of the rest and the Republicans accused of having insufficiently surveyed the questions during their time allocated to file Barr.

Commer, in response, implored the Democrats not to politicize a bipartite investigation.

The divisions deepened after Commer said that Barr had no knowledge, and he believed no involvement of reprehensible acts on the part of President Donald Trump linked to Epstein.

The member of the Chamber’s Supervisory Committee, representative Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Who was not in the room, published a statement after the deposition, saying Barr did not erase Trump.

In addition to Gonzales’ deposition on Tuesday, the Chamber’s supervisory committee should also hear this week from the former Trump prosecutor, Jeff Sessions.
