House GOP seeks to hold Bill Clinton in contempt for skipping Epstein deposition
- On Tuesday, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declined to testify about Jeffrey Epstein, challenging Representative James R. Comer, chair of the committee, to compel their testimony.
- Framing their refusal as principled, they said `Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences.`
- Representative James R. Comer, who chairs the committee, has been vocal in seeking testimony from high-profile individuals as part of the congressional inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's conduct before his 2019 death.
- Comer set deposition deadlines for Tuesday and Wednesday, and warned of contempt proceedings if Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton do not appear, while observers say the clash may politicize the Epstein probe.
- Broader questions about transparency include critics faulting the U.S. Department of Justice for delays releasing Jeffrey Epstein files, while observers say Representative James R. Comer uses high-profile figures to deflect scrutiny from Donald Trump.
