It makes sense since they already know that he covered up Trump and Epsteins pedophilia before. Thats not the testimony they want anyway, right?

President Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta was not one of the former government officials subpoenaed Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee over the Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Why it matters: As a federal prosecutor in 2008, Acosta approved a highly controversial non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to serve minimal time in prison and shut down the federal investigation into his alleged sex trafficking ring.
The sweetheart plea deal, which Acosta negotiated without consulting Epstein's victims, also shielded his alleged co-conspirators from future prosecution related to his sex crimes.
Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, citing the agreement the Justice Department struck via Acosta. She said in a court filing Tuesday that she doesn't want the government to unseal grand jury testimony related to the Epstein case.
Driving the news: House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday he had issued subpoenas to a number of prominent figures to appear for depositions in the following weeks and months.
Those individuals included former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller.
A House panel last month approved a motion by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) to direct Comer to subpoena those individuals.
Yes, but: Acosta wasn't among those subpoenaed, which raised eyebrows from reporters and followers of the Epstein probe, given Acosta's role in negotiating the deal at the heart of the scandal.
Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was included in the subpoena list, was Acosta's boss during his time in South Florida.
