House GOP seeks to hold Bill Clinton in contempt for skipping Epstein deposition
House Republicans plan contempt charges after both Clintons missed subpoenas in the Jeffrey Epstein probe, citing legal invalidity and partisan motives, Oversight Chair Comer said.
- On Tuesday, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee announced plans to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt after he failed to appear for a scheduled deposition, with Chair James Comer saying proceedings will begin next week.
- The Department of Justice's recent file releases renewed scrutiny of former President Bill Clinton's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including photos showing Clinton with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell that prompted subpoenas.
- In a Tuesday letter to the committee the Clintons argued the subpoenas are invalid and unenforceable, and they have already provided relevant information in writing.
- The next step could be a House vote to refer the matter to Justice Department, and Chair James Comer says he will begin contempt proceedings next week, starting a rarely used legal process.
- The dispute is expected to draw attention ahead of the 2026 midterm elections as Republican lawmakers frame the probe to shift scrutiny toward Democratic figures, while the Department of Justice delays releasing Epstein files.
