Clintons Defy House Subpoenas in Epstein Probe as Comer Moves Toward Contempt

They call the GOP demand legally invalid, casting the dispute as a political attempt to jail them.

Overview

  • House Oversight Chair James Comer says the committee will start contempt proceedings next week after Bill Clinton skipped a scheduled deposition.
  • In a four-page joint letter, Bill and Hillary Clinton reject the subpoenas as unenforceable and accuse Republicans of weaponizing the inquiry against opponents of President Donald Trump.
  • Comer had set this week’s deadlines for separate appearances, but both Clintons signaled they would not appear for questioning.
  • Congress ordered the Justice Department to release all non-classified Epstein-related files, yet DOJ has published only part of the records and reports receiving about one million additional documents.
  • Released materials show Bill Clinton’s social ties to Epstein, including travel on his plane, while Comer says the committee is not alleging crimes and simply wants answers.
