Comey's letter, submitted under penalty of law, prompts committee to withdraw deposition demand
The House Oversight Committee has dropped its subpoena for former FBI Director James Comey, after he said he had no knowledge relevant to the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, The Hill reported, citing a letter Comey sent to the committee.
In the Oct. 1 letter sent to Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky, Comey said he had no "knowledge" or "information relevant to the Committee’s investigation" into the late pedophile.
Comey was slated to sit for a deposition on Tuesday before the committee that is examining Epstein’s contacts and potential government ties dating back to the 1990s.
"I offer this letter in lieu of a deposition that would unproductively consume the Committee’s scarce time and resources," Comey wrote.
Comey served as deputy attorney general from 2003 to 2005 and later as FBI director from 2013 to 2017 — two periods now under scrutiny by House Republicans seeking answers about Epstein’s federal connections.
"At no time during my service at the Department of Justice or the FBI do I recall any information or conversations that related to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell," Comey wrote.
Because the letter was submitted under penalty of law — making any false statements a potential federal crime — Comer accepted Comey’s response and withdrew the subpoena.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Oversight Committee for a copy of Comey’s letter and confirmation of the subpoena’s withdrawal.
The late pedophile Epstein committed suicide in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on federal sex trafficking charges, though questions continue to swirl about the circumstances surrounding his death.

“... he said he had no knowledge relevant to the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, “
Oh, okay then...................
Epstein has been dead for years. Maxwell will be in prison for many years. Why are they wasting time on this?
Do you trust that lying skank to be telling the truth?
Politics..............it’s like sausage. If you enjoy either one, then it’s best that you don’t watch them being made.............
Because the “elites” who they trafficked to girls to are still walking free. The victims, and we the people, are entitled to justice.
Oh, I don’t know.... maybe because of the people involved, covered for, covered by, the exploitation and alleged abuse of minors, the probable lies, blackmail and destruction of files involving the FBI and higher ups....
Yes
The Devil made a deal to protect Bill Clinton but his soul definitely belongs to the Devil.
“”” The victims, and we the people, are entitled to justice.”””””
Epstein is Dead. Maxwell is in prison. The “victims” could have released a list 20 years ago. The statute of limitations means nobody can ever be charged with anything.
The democrats are desperate to come up with a new RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA scandal and the idiot Republicans are letting them do it.
Street girls, including minors, are a dime a dozen in every city and every town in the country.
It doesn’t mean he can escape prosecution - the DOJ handles that. It means he’s dodging speaking in public (hiding) even though the Committee meetings don’t release more than a few sanitized sound bytes.
In other words, the DOJ would have to get a conviction- until then he’s claiming innocence. Once he’s convicted, he won’t attend a hearing before COngress.
...and molesters who use them are in positions of power in every capitol in the country. They need to be ARRESTED and charged, come what may. At least we know who they are before the next election. I would consider that justice if they get off on "statute of limitations" or some other technicality.
