Former FBI Director James Comey will not be testifying in the House GOP’s investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Comey was going to be deposed on Tuesday for the investigation, but House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revoked the subpoena for Comey, according to The Hill newspaper.
Comey had written a letter to Comer earlier this month that said he had no information that would be relevant to the investigation.
“I offer this letter in lieu of a deposition that would unproductively consume the Committee’s scarce time and resources,” the letter reads.
The Oversight Committee has also subpoenaed former Democratic President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify.
Epstein died in prison in August 2019 as he was waiting for a trial on sex trafficking charges of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. He pleaded guilty to similar state-level charges in Florida in 2008.
Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other charges in connection with helping traffic minors to Epstein.
