Overview
- Chairman James Comer said the panel will vote Wednesday on contempt after rejecting limits proposed by the Clintons’ lawyers.
- The proposed format would have limited testimony to a New York meeting with only Comer and Ranking Member Robert Garcia, two staffers each, no other members, and no official transcript.
- Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña said the Clintons never rejected being under oath or having a transcript and accused Comer of misrepresenting the negotiations.
- The committee says its bipartisan subpoenas require transcribed depositions, and Comer has said he has enough votes in both committee and on the House floor to advance contempt.
- The Clintons were subpoenaed for the Epstein probe and have not been accused of wrongdoing, while the panel cites Hillary Clinton’s State Department experience and ties to Ghislaine Maxwell to justify on‑the‑record testimony.
