The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee said he and his fellow lawmakers are “absolutely” going to subpoena people with connections to Jeffrey Epstein, potentially including Steve Bannon.

The claim involves a statement attributed to the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee about plans to subpoena people linked to Jeffrey Epstein, potentially including Steve Bannon. Multiple recent news reports confirm that the House Oversight Committee, including Democrats and some Republicans, have voted to subpoena Justice Department files related to Epstein and have issued subpoenas for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted associate.pbs.orgpbs.orgHouse subcommittee votes 8-2 to subpoena Justice Department for Epstein files

While there is clear evidence of subpoenas being issued and motions made to subpoena various individuals connected to Epstein, direct public confirmation specifically naming Steve Bannon as a target is less explicit in the available sources. However, some reports mention broader efforts to subpoena people with connections to Epstein, which could plausibly include Bannon given his known political prominence and associations.axios.comaxios.comRepublican-led House panel passes Democrat's measure to subpoena Epstein files

The statement that lawmakers are “absolutely” going to subpoena such individuals aligns with the committee's aggressive investigative posture. The claim is time-sensitive and based on recent developments from July 2025, with multiple bipartisan votes supporting subpoenas. Given the absence of a direct quote explicitly naming Bannon in the sources but acknowledging potential inclusion, the claim is largely accurate but slightly incomplete in detail.
