Comer to Clintons: Testify in person about Epstein or face contempt
Washington Times ^ | 11/21/2025 | Staff

Posted on 11/21/2025 1:37:44 PM PST by simpson96

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer is threatening to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress if they refuse to testify in person about their connections to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Kentucky Republican issued subpoenas over the summer demanding the Clintons appear for depositions. Through their attorney David Kendall, the couple acknowledged having some information but proposed providing it in written statements instead.

Mr. Comer rejected that offer Friday, saying the committee determines how it receives testimony from witnesses.

“Given their history with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, any attempt by the Clintons to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” Mr. Comer said.

Mr. Kendall told Mr. Comer earlier this month that while Epstein and Maxwell’s actions were “abhorrent,” his clients “have little to contribute” on the subject.

Give them the same treatment Steve Bannon got when he defied a congressional subpoena.

Send the FBI to rummage thru Hillary’s underwear. But be sure the agents have clothes pins for their nose.

Even if they did testify, they would just smugly plead the fifth. Just release whatever info you have on them. Flight logs, expense reports, photos, videos, whatever.

Maybe we get a replay of the Paula Jones trial.

Lol.

I’m thinking they would need a Level A HAZMAT suit.

Exactly. Or a repeat of the Benghazi hearings. What difference, at this point, does it make!?

As if they care about a contempt charge. They’re democrat royalty. I’ll be surprised if they suffer any consequences.

The Clintons just have to keep delaying until the DemocRATs cheat their way into a majority in the ‘26 elections. Then all will go away.

Guaranteed.

History will repeat itself. She won’t recall anything as her brain turned to jello and he won’t admit he had sex with anyone to include Epstein. And they will then have to issue shovels to get out of the area.

And they’ll get away with too. Who’s going to enforce it? Comer? Jordan? Don’t get your hopes up. The Pubbies talk a helluva game, but they NEVER have the guts to hold the Clintons in contempt and have them arrested. Can you imagine the press blowback? Mean Fascist Republicans jailing ailing septuagenarian former POTUS and SOS/presidential candidate! Democracy threatened!Film at 11. More tiresome kabuki theater.
