Bill and Hillary Clinton Refuse to Testify in Epstein Investigation Amid Contempt Threats
In a significant development regarding the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have declined to testify before the House Oversight Committee. This refusal, which the Clintons justify by labeling the congressional subpoenas as ‘invalid and legally unenforceable,’ has prompted Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. James Comer, to threaten contempt of Congress proceedings against them. The escalated tensions highlight a fierce political divide, as the House GOP aims to hold the Clintons accountable for their absence from the investigation. With Chairman Comer confirming intentions to pursue contempt charges, the situation is poised for further legal and political confrontations.
