"Mr. Comer has repeatedly threatened to hold the Clintons in contempt if they failed to appear for live depositions behind closed doors, typically a first step in referring someone to the Justice Department for prosecution. He had set a deadline of Tuesday for Mr. Clinton to appear, and Wednesday for Mrs. Clinton. But hours before the deadline, the Clintons made clear that they had no intention of presenting themselves on Capitol Hill to be questioned by Mr. Comer and members of his committee."
"They did so by submitting an eight-page legal letter laying out why they considered the subpoenas invalid and legally unenforceable, then followed up with a scorching missive that they signed jointly, promising to fight Mr. Comer on the issue for as long as it took. In the letter, the Clintons noted that they had proactively provided Mr. Comer with sworn statements similar to ones he had accepted from seven or eight other former law enforcement officials he had also subpoenaed."
Former President Bill Clinton did not appear for a scheduled deposition with the House Oversight Committee. Bill and Hillary Clinton sent a joint letter to Chairman James Comer stating they will not comply with subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. They submitted an eight-page legal brief arguing the subpoenas are invalid and unenforceable and provided sworn statements similar to those accepted from other officials. Comer threatened contempt and possible Justice Department referral. The Clintons insisted they have no knowledge relevant to the probe and pledged to contest the committee’s actions. The committee released photos showing Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein.
