GOP chair rejects Clintons' offer in Epstein investigation ahead of contempt of Congress vote
"Rep. James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, said on social media that he would insist on both Clintons sitting for sworn depositions before the committee in order to fulfill the panel's subpoenas. A letter from the committee to attorneys for the Clintons indicates that they had offered for Bill Clinton to conduct a 4-hour transcribed interview on "matters related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein" and for Hillary Clinton to submit a sworn declaration."
"The Republican-controlled Oversight panel advanced criminal contempt of Congress charges last month. Nine of the committee's 21 Democrats joined Republicans in support of the charges against Bill Clinton as they argued for full transparency in the Epstein investigation. Three Democrats also supported advancing the charges against Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton's relationship with Epstein has re-emerged as a focal point for Republicans amid the push for a reckoning over Epstein,"
Rep. James Comer rejected an offer for a transcribed interview from Bill Clinton and demanded sworn depositions from both Clintons to satisfy committee subpoenas. The committee letter records an offer of a four-hour transcribed interview for Bill Clinton and a sworn declaration from Hillary Clinton. The Oversight Committee advanced criminal contempt charges and is moving toward possible full House votes that could expose both Clintons to fines or incarceration if convicted. Several Democrats joined Republicans in advancing the charges. Bill Clinton's past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become a renewed focal point. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while facing sex-trafficking charges.
