Powerful House panel threatens to subpoena former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz

WASHINGTON — The powerful House Oversight Committee is threatening to subpoena Alan Dershowitz — once a criminal-defense lawyer for sex fiend Jeffrey Epstein — after the attorney abruptly canceled an upcoming interview.Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) seethed in a Tuesday letter to Dershowitz that he was attempting to “hide from this Committee’s investigation” into the powerful late pedophile, including of his potential government connections — despite having said he had “nothing to hide” and that he could share relevant details at the scheduled July 20 sit-down.“The Committee will not tolerate any further delay,” Comer fumed.“Accordingly, we reiterate our request that you testify at an in-person, videotaped transcribed interview on September 2, 2026.“If you fail to adhere to this request, the Committee will explore all available tools at its disposal, including the use of the compulsory process,” the GOP chairman added.Dershowitz told The Post that he just “couldn’t go” to his scheduled interview — for good reason.“There was a legal development that occurred that precluded me from testifying,” he said.“We’re trying to eliminate that barrier now,” Dershowitz said.

“It’s out of my hands.It’s completely out of my control.”Dershowitz has repeatedly claimed he has “nothing to hide” about the vigorous criminal defense he previously provided Epstein in the 2000s when the financier was under state and federal investigation for the alleged sex-trafficking of women and girls in Palm Beach, Fla.Dershowitz’s counsel, Imran Ansari, declined to comment to The Post.The Republican-led Oversight Committee has interviewed more than a dozen Epstein associates as it probes what Comer described as “the alleged mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation” into the sicko dead millionaire and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.Epstein, 66, died in Manhattan prison Aug.
