"It has been nearly six months since your clients first received the Committee's subpoena, more than three months since the original date of their depositions, and nearly three weeks since they failed to appear for their depositions commensurate with the Committee's lawful subpoenas, Comer wrote. Your clients' desire for special treatment is both frustrating and an affront to the American people's desire for transparency."
"The initial correspondence, obtained by CNN, revealed that the Clintons' team has been in search of an off-ramp for days. Attorneys for the former president and former secretary of state have been in discussion with the Republican-led committee multiple times since lawmakers from both parties voted in January to hold the Clintons in contempt for refusing to appear for in-person depositions as part of the panel's investigation into Epstein."
Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to appear for in-person depositions in Washington, D.C., related to the congressional Jeffrey Epstein probe in an effort to avoid a contempt of Congress vote. House Oversight Chairman James Comer rejected a conditional offer from the Clintons' attorneys that proposed a voluntary, transcribed interview in New York. Comer noted extensive delays: nearly six months since the subpoena, over three months since the original deposition date, and weeks since the Clintons failed to appear. Attorneys had proposed a four-hour, scope-limited interview with transcribers and questioning by lawmakers and staff.
