Long-time friends with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill and Hillary Clinton show up in the Epstein files numerous times, with Bill passing Hillary for that dishonor. After refusing to come before the House Oversight Committee for questioning, both Clintons have been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said, “We’re going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress. The [Epstein estate] complied with our lawful subpoena. [Former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta] came in and were deposed because of our lawful subpoenas. This same lawful subpoena was issued to the Clintons, and they defied it.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says contempt of Congress proceedings are moving forward after Bill Clinton refused to comply with a congressional subpoena tied to the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Comer said the subpoena was lawful and noted that other witnesses—including former officials—appeared under the same authority.
Comer also said the committee will pursue contempt against Hillary Clinton following disputes over her appearance, after attorneys for the Clintons argued the subpoenas were invalid and infringed on separation of powers. The chairman criticized Democrats for skipping the scheduled deposition and confirmed the contempt process would begin immediately, setting up a high-stakes legal fight between Congress and the Clintons.
