U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM LETTER TO U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS ATTORNEY GENERAL GORDON C. RHEA DATED NOVEMBER 18, 2025 This record is a House Oversight letter to the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands seeking cooperation and records relevant to the Committee's Epstein inquiry. The letter reflects the Committee's effort to collect information from jurisdictional actors connected to estate administration, territorial enforcement activity, and document custody issues tied to Epstein matters. Unlike a bank subpoena cover letter, this document is framed as an intergovernmental request to a territorial law-enforcement office. It asks for support in identifying and preserving responsive materials and situates the request within the Committee's ongoing review of disclosure, accountability, and potential legislative reforms. The letter also helps establish a formal communications channel for follow-up requests and response tracking. The timing, issued the same day as subpoenas to two major banks, indicates a coordinated evidence-collection phase aimed at both private and governmental repositories. In oversight practice, that combination can help reconcile conflicting timelines, verify document provenance, and close gaps where records may exist in one jurisdiction but not another. For archival use, this item is important because it broadens the record beyond federal agencies and financial institutions to include territorial authorities with potential access to relevant estate and investigative materials.
