Oversight committee chair James Comer said that he will move to hold former president Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify as part of the ongoing investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. Speaking to reporters, the Republican lawmaker from Kentucky said that he will begin the proceedings during the committee’s markup period next week.
This comes legal representatives for both Bill and Hillary Clinton sent an eight-page letter to Comer notifying him that they would not comply with the subpoenas compelling them to appear before the committee to deliver in-person testimony.
“To my knowledge, former president Clinton has never answered questions about Epstein, and we just had questions,” Comer said today. “I think anyone would admit they spent a lot of time together while Bill Clinton was president and post-presidency.”
Depending on the type of contempt citation, Clinton could either be forced to comply with the subpoena by a federal court, or even face prosecution by the justice department.
Clinton has been openly demanding all the epstein files release.
So I wager hes not trying to avoid any personal consequences, so much as hes trying to avoid being made center stage at the distraction circus with a kangaroo court.
And why would Clinton need to speak before CONGRESS? He’s not a sitting president, in any sort of government position, or AFAIK involved in anything really close to government at all.
If he’s a suspect, have the fucking police interview him.
Only reason to drag him before congress (and cameras) is to distract from Trumps actual complicity in not only raping young girls, but trafficking them through Mar-A-Lago.
If there was any actual evidence of Clintons criminal activities, he’d already be arrested and being paraded infront of cameras nonstop by this admin

But no guys when we vote them in they’ll be different. Trust time bro, they are aren’t the same.
Jail for them is literally a tax-paid resort. The worst for them is better than you and I suffer through in employment
Everyone has known for a very long time that he would refuse. This is performative.
These two have a chance to do something right, to show real leadership and responsibility, and to kick the fucking doors open and shine the light of day on the whole damn mess.
How many working years do they have left? How viable are they as politicians? What purpose does trying to save their own image serve? Do they really think people give a shit about them anymore? Do they really think they’re relevant as anything other than a symbol of why their party has failed the nation?
Fucking spineless.
Bill doesn’t have any excuses, but I can definitely understand Hillary not wanting to get involved in an inquiry by a majority Republican Congress. I mean, Trump has literally called for her assassination before.
Who doesn’t hold congress in contempt given whom they choose to question and whom they don’t?
Lock her up
Lock him up
Lock trump and all his cronies up
Why? Politics? Nope, because they’re all criminals who committed crimes.
Any dental is an admission of guilt.
Especially molars.
They a root canal to get to the bottom of this
Come on Bill, just go in there and let them ask you that question. Did you have sex with Donald Trump? And then reply, I did not have sexual relations with that man.
You owe it to us. You owe it to the country you had to deal with your bullshit in the 90s.
“Depends on what your definition of ‘man’ is” would be a roast for the ages.
If Trump and his cabal don’t have to respect the law, why does anyone else?
Why is Bondi not being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the Epstein/Trump files? Total clown show.
Because Republicans
Just say you don’t want to implicate Donald.
Hasn’t Trump demonstrated that contempt of congress has no consequences?
Only if you have the magic ® after your name, because there’s no “R” in “Consequences”!
There is no “D” either so the Clintons get a free pass too.
Oh no, Bill Clinton has definitely exposed his “D” to some consequences in his time …
Is it really a consequence if the impeachment didn’t result in removal from office?
Besides legitimizing powerful men using positions of power to coerce young women?
Oh… You meant consequences for the offender? I guess people made some jokes about him.
Doing what they can to divert attention from Trump’s presence in the Epstein files after not doing fuck all about anything else.
clinton saying under oath trump sucked him off would be great soundbite, and possibly shatter some maga brains would be hilarious
Yeah, and this probably isn’t even in the top 10 for terrible things the Clintons have done to politics in this country
