"The Clintons, in a letter released on social media, slammed the House Oversight probe as "legally invalid" and wrote that the chair of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Rep. James Comer, is on the cusp of a process "literally designed to result in our imprisonment." "We will forcefully defend ourselves," wrote the Clintons, who are Democrats. They accused Comer of allowing other former officials to provide written statements about Epstein to the committee, while selectively enforcing subpoenas against them."
"Comer said he'll begin contempt of Congress proceedings next week. It potentially starts a complicated and politically messy process that Congress has rarely reached for and could result in prosecution from the Justice Department. "No one's accusing the Clintons of any wrongdoing. We just have questions," Comer told reporters after Bill Clinton, a onetime Epstein friend, did not show up for a scheduled deposition at House offices Tuesday. He added, "Anyone would admit they spent a lot of time together.""
Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to comply with a House Oversight subpoena to testify in a probe related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons called the probe legally invalid and said chair Rep. James Comer was on the cusp of a process 'literally designed to result in our imprisonment.' They vowed to forcefully defend themselves and accused Comer of selectively enforcing subpoenas while accepting written statements from other former officials. Comer said he will begin contempt of Congress proceedings next week, which could lead to DOJ prosecution. Republicans are also pressing for release of delayed Epstein files from the Justice Department.
