Top House Democrats are pressing for answers, requesting access to previously unreleased footage related to Epstein's final days. With new subpoenas looming, political pressure is building quickly.What’s in the Epstein footage Steve Bannon holds?Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are considering issuing a subpoena to Steve Bannon, who reportedly has 15 hours of unreleased footage of Jeffrey Epstein. As lawmakers step up their investigations into Epstein's ties to powerful figures, they are also pressuring the DOJ, Epstein's estate, and potential whistleblowers to reveal hidden evidence.Steve Bannon and other individuals with ties to Jeffrey Epstein will "absolutely" be subpoenaed by him and his fellow lawmakers, according to the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, as per a report by the Daily Beast.Live EventsALSO READ: Minnesota Cyber Crisis: Gov.

A two-minute teaser for The Monsters: Epstein's Life Among the Global Elite has since been made public by Bannon, who claims that the five-part series will premiere early in the upcoming year.Why are Democrats stepping up their investigation into Epstein?Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) was asked in an interview with MSNBC if lawmakers looking into the Epstein scandal had Bannon “in their sights” and if they intended to subpoena another individual, such as financiers in New York City, who allegedly had a relationship with Epstein. "Are lawmakers planning to visit Capitol Hill, seek to have others testify, or subpoena other people?" host Antonia Hylton inquired.ALSO READ: Trump claims Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago Spa, says he banned him for being a ‘creep’The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee said that they are "absolutely" going to subpoena people who are linked to Epstein. When MSNBC asked Garcia if he was in their sights, he specifically mentioned Bannon's name.Before going on break in August, the committee voted to ask the Department of Justice for Epstein's sealed files. Garcia says they are also going after Epstein's estate, whistleblowers, and wealthy people who are known to have ties to Epstein.Lawmakers are looking for a 2003 birthday book that supposedly has a rude drawing by Donald Trump in it. This is one more piece of evidence that they think could help them understand Epstein's complicated web of connections to powerful people.Could Trump be pulled back into the spotlight?Donald Trump is still under scrutiny because he has been friends with Epstein for a long time, even though he says he banned him from Mar-a-Lago. People say the former president is very angry that the scandal keeps coming up, especially among his MAGA supporters who want full transparency and the release of Epstein's alleged "client list."The Justice Department recently sent out a memo saying that Epstein killed himself and that there was no verified client list. This was in response to conspiracy theories. But a lot of people aren't happy. This case could come back to Trump, especially if Bannon's footage shows anything else, since subpoenas are looking for new evidence and famous names."All of it is on the table," Rep. Garcia said plainly. The Epstein story is far from over, and it may be entering its most politically charged chapter yet, with Bannon, Trump, and an unreleased documentary all involved.FAQsWhy has Steve Bannon been linked to Jeffrey Epstein?Bannon reportedly worked on a documentary about Epstein and has unreleased footage from before his arrest.Are Democrats preparing to subpoena Bannon?Yes, House Democrats say "everything is on the table," including a possible subpoena for Bannon and others associated with Epstein.(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel) Read More News onSteve Bannon Epstein scandalHouse Democrats subpoena BannonEpstein client list investigationJeffrey Epstein footageTrump Epstein connectionEpstein estate investigationHouse Oversight Committee EpsteinSteve Bannon dragged into Epstein scandalSteve BannonEpstein scandal (Catch all the US News, UK News, Canada News, International Breaking News Events, and Latest News Updates on The Economic Times.)
