House Oversight subpoenas Jeffrey Epstein's estate

• Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also announced that former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta will appear for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19.
• The Justice Department concluded that Acosta demonstrated "poor judgment" when he signed off on a widely criticized 2008 plea deal for Epstein.

Driving the news: "It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee's investigation and legislative goals," Comer said in a statement.

• The subpoena sets a Sept. 8 deadline for turning over the documents.

Catch up quick: The DOJ last week delivered "thousands of pages of documents" pertaining to its Epstein probe that the committee also had subpoenaed.

• The Oversight Committee is also seeking to compel testimony from a number of former government officials, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey.
• Comer announced Monday that the committee will accept formal written declarations from former Attorneys General Alberto Gonzelez, Eric Holder and Jeff Sessions that they have "no information" pertaining to Epstein.
• All were previously subpoenaed to appear for depositions as part of the committee's investigation.
