Members of both parties have for months been hijacking House Oversight Committee business to call votes on subpoenas for high-profile figures in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation — and Democrats say chair James Comer has quietly instituted a new strategy to contain the practice. The Kentucky Republican’s workaround, they allege, is to hold “roundtables” on various issues within the panel’s jurisdiction rather than hearings. Roundtables are more informal and don’t permit members to offer motions to subpoena witnesses during unrelated committee business, as is allowed during hearings. Over the past year, some GOP members have joined with Democrats to take advantage…

He seemed to disappear entirely in March, leading to speculation he had been killed by an airstrike, but he sent a congratulatory message to his forces in early April for supposedly administering “regrettable lessons to the enemies of humanity.” Qaani’s…
