Fact check: Did Bill Clinton get a subpoena to release info on Epstein

1. Summary of the results

Yes, Bill Clinton did receive a subpoena to release information on Jeffrey Epstein. Multiple sources confirm that the House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to Bill Clinton, along with his wife Hillary Clinton and eight other high-profile individuals, as part of their investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case ^{[1] [2]}.

The subpoenas were specifically for testimony related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, with sources indicating that Bill Clinton was scheduled for a deposition on October 14 ^[3]. The House Oversight Committee's investigation seeks information about Epstein's history, his connections to high-ranking figures, and the handling of his investigation and prosecution ^{[2] [1]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks several important contextual details:

• Hillary Clinton was also subpoenaed alongside Bill Clinton, making this a broader investigation targeting both former President and former Secretary of State ^{[2] [1]}
• Eight other high-profile individuals received subpoenas as part of the same investigation, including former Justice Department officials, U.S. Attorneys General, and FBI Directors ^{[1] [2] [3]}
• The investigation focuses on Epstein's connections to powerful individuals and seeks to uncover information about how his case was handled by law enforcement agencies ^[4]
• The subpoenas are part of a congressional probe by the House Oversight Committee, indicating this is a formal legislative investigation rather than a criminal proceeding ^{[3] [2]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears factually neutral and does not contain obvious misinformation. However, it could be seen as incomplete because:

• It focuses solely on Bill Clinton when the investigation encompasses multiple high-profile figures, potentially creating a misleading impression that Clinton is being uniquely targeted ^[1]
• The phrasing "release info on Epstein" is somewhat vague compared to the more specific reality that the subpoenas seek testimony about Epstein's connections and the handling of his prosecution ^{[2] [1]}

The question's framing could benefit those seeking to emphasize Clinton's involvement while downplaying the broader scope of the congressional investigation into how various government officials and agencies handled the Epstein case.
