And that may still happen.

Today, the Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna told Politico, quote, I believe we have the votes to subpoena him.

One would hope that's true, given that Howard Lutnick is a sitting member of the current administration and is therefore directly subject to congressional oversight.

It's not optional that members of the administration are subject to congressional oversight.

But so far, the Republican led committee has been much more focused on a president who was last in office 25 years ago, as well as his wife, the former secretary of state.

Today, Republicans finally held their closed-door deposition with former President Bill Clinton.

And so far, there have been no major revelations from that interview.

We will let you know if anything newsworthy emerges from that hearing.

But the real question here is if Congress can force a former president to sit and answer questions about Epstein, what stops Congress from doing the same thing for a current president and multiple members of his cabinet who have ties to Epstein?

If Bill Clinton can be made to testify about Epstein, why not Trump?

And I'm not the only one who seems to be asking that question.

Just listen to what President Trump himself said today when he was asked about Bill Clinton's deposition.

I don't like him.

I don't like him.

I don't like seeing him deposed.

That's not Donald Trump, by the way, expressing newfound sympathy for Bill and Hillary Clinton, in case you were wondering.

That's Donald Trump's fear that he's next.

As The Atlantic's Sarah Fitzpatrick reports in a blockbuster news story today, quote, Trump and others have expressed concern that this effort could set a precedent for Trump to be subpoenaed to testify under oath about Epstein.

According to four people familiar with the situation, as one administration official said, everyone's looking for an off-ramp.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what we're learning from this new reporting, because according to The Atlantic, not one, not two, not three, not four, but nine people, nine people familiar with information that was submitted to the FBI and the DOJ in recent years told The Atlantic that they were alarmed that many documents, including those that they say include references to Trump, were not made public.
