"Former United States President Bill Clinton and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have refused a congressional subpoena to testify before a House of Representatives committee as part of an investigation into multi-millionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter on Tuesday, the Clintons accused Republican Representative James Comer of playing political favourites in the investigation, seeking to punish political opponents like them, while shielding allies, including US President Donald Trump."
"In response, Comer said he will begin contempt of US Congress proceedings against the Clintons, who are Democrats, next week. The lengthy process would eventually require approval from a full vote of the House. If that were to pass, the Clintons could be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. No one's accusing the Clintons of any wrongdoing, Comer told reporters on Tuesday. We just have questions."
Bill and Hillary Clinton refused a congressional subpoena to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, calling the subpoena legally invalid and politically motivated. The Clintons accused Representative James Comer of protecting allies while targeting political opponents and said the committee's inquiry was designed to harass, embarrass and even result in imprisonment. Comer announced he will begin contempt of Congress proceedings, which could require a full House vote and potentially lead to Department of Justice prosecution. The Clintons stated they already provided all relevant information. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial, and speculation about his social circle persists.
