US EditionHouse Oversight Republicans Move to Hold Clintons in Criminal Contempt Over Epstein Subpoena
House Oversight Republicans seek criminal contempt charges against Hillary and Bill Clinton for ignoring subpoenas related to Jeffrey Epstein, citing alleged connections and withheld documents.
- On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said the panel will vote next Wednesday to hold Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton in contempt after she missed a deposition, adding `We are going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress`.
- The committee issued subpoenas on Aug. 5 and Republicans cite Bill Clinton's Epstein flights and ties to Ghislaine Maxwell as reasons; the Clintons called the subpoenas `invalid and legally unenforceable`.
- Committee records show tens of thousands of DOJ documents have been obtained, and last month the Department of Justice released photos including Bill Clinton while more than 2 million Epstein files remain unreleased after missing a Dec. 19 deadline.
- To proceed, the House Oversight Committee must mark up and vote to advance a contempt resolution, which the full House could pass by a simple majority, then refer to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for possible prosecution, with criminal contempt penalties up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
- The Clintons pushed back, calling the move partisan in a detailed letter, and Democrats await specifics while some call the contempt efforts hyper-partisan and blame Pam Bondi for missed file releases.
