House GOP leaders <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/johnson-house-recess-epstein-files-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">have opposed<\/a><\/span> a separate measure that would force the Justice Department to release materials on Epstein, and President Trump has urged his supporters to move beyond the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The motion to subpoena the Justice Department, which was offered by Democratic Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, passed in an 8-2 vote. Republican Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Brian Jack of Georgia voted in favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans amended the subpoena to also include Epstein-related communications between former President Joe Biden, Biden administration officials and the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>The subcommittee also approved by voice vote subpoenas for former President Bill Clinton; former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller; and former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales. The motion was introduced by Perry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The American people want to know what&#8217;s in that file,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;The American people want transparency. At the end of the day, we have to send a message that whether you are the littlest guy or you are the most powerful person in this nation, that if you commit a crime, if you do things that we aren&#8217;t supposed to do, that there will be some accountability.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the House Oversight Committee chairman, will issue the subpoenas in the future, a committee aide told CBS News.
