Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the full roster of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee are invoking a little-used legal provision to obtain records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

In a letter addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the lawmakers reference a federal statute that compels executive agencies to provide information when requested by the committee or at least five of its members.

The law states the agency “shall submit any information requested of it relating to any matter within the jurisdiction of the committee.” The group has asked that the relevant documents be submitted to Congress by August 15, with a briefing for committee staff scheduled no later than August 29.

Under the statute, that’s correct. But the executive branch has argued that the statute is unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court took a case that would have resolved it in 2023, but the relevant House committee dropped their suit. See here: www.levin-center.org/congressiona...
