Overview
- Bill Clinton did not appear for a scheduled House Oversight hearing on Tuesday, and Hillary Clinton declined to testify at a session set for Wednesday.
- In a joint letter reported by the New York Times, their attorneys called the subpoenas legally invalid, said both have already provided sworn statements, and asserted they have no relevant information.
- Committee Chair James Comer warned he will seek a contempt of Congress vote as soon as next week over the nonappearance, a step that could lead to fines or jail.
- Comer alleges Bill Clinton flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane four times in 2002–2003 and received at least one “massage” from an alleged victim, claims the Clintons reject.
- Recently released Epstein-related records include many prominent names, yet published evidence has not established criminal misconduct by the politicians listed.
