- The committee is investigating how the Department of Justice handled files and documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. They are also looking at how the government enforces sex trafficking laws in general.
- If the House approves this, the committee chair must start the legal process within 30 days. The House Office of General Counsel would represent the committee and could hire outside lawyers to help with the case.
