Bill and Hillary Clinton skipped congressional depositions tied to the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, setting up a high-stakes clash with Capitol Hill. Bill Clinton was scheduled to testify behind closed doors yesterday but didn’t show. Hillary Clinton was set for today. House Oversight Chairman James Comer says he plans to move forward with contempt proceedings, which would mark the first time a former president has faced contempt of Congress and could trigger a long, politically charged legal fight. In a sharply worded letter to Comer, the Clintons argued the subpoenas are legally invalid, citing an analysis from two law firms. They accused the president and Republican lawmakers of weaponizing the justice system for political purposes and framed their refusal as a stand against what they called a broader abuse of power. They also pointed to precedent, noting that President Trump defied a congressional subpoena in 2022 related to January 6. The Clintons challenged Comer to release the legal analysis publicly and criticized Congress for not forcing the Justice Department to release all Epstein-related files, including any material involving them—something they say they’ve publicly called for.
