"While he says they are "cooperating" with trying to find a date, he says that the former first couple is weighing other options in how to respond to the investigation. Mr. Comer and Speaker Mike Johnson have been pushing back against a bipartisan bill to force a disclosure of all of the so-called "Epstein files" by claiming that an Oversight Committee probe is a more appropriate avenue for investigating the matter."
"Speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday, Mr. Comer says that Democrats on the committee are trying to stonewall. "The Democrats aren't helping one bit. You would think because we've already brought two former Trump Cabinet secretaries in, they would be willing to bring in a Democrat who's had - publicly - a far closer relationship with ... [Ghislaine] Maxwell and Epstein," Mr. Comer said at a press conference with the speaker and other congressional leaders on Tuesday."
James Comer asserts that attorneys for President Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are seeking delays for their scheduled depositions in the congressional probe into Jeffrey Epstein, while nominally "cooperating" on scheduling. Comer and Speaker Mike Johnson argue that a House Oversight Committee investigation is a better mechanism than a bipartisan bill that would compel wholesale Justice Department disclosure of Epstein-related records. The Clintons remain the last witnesses slated for committee depositions after lawmakers questioned former U.S. attorneys general and others involved in Epstein prosecutions. Comer accuses committee Democrats of stonewalling the effort.
