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

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.

Ken Starr jugged Susan McDougall for contempt.
Comer couldn’t carry Starr’s jacquestrap.

“...But be sure the agents have clothes pins for their nose...”

They’d need more than that!! Try full-blown, positive-pressure respirators, rubber hazmat suits and plenty of surgeon’s gloves.. That vile, wretched stench of stale urine and rotten cabbage eminating from the PIAPS bodily fluids would be overwhelming otherwise.

Clintonians in contempt??? Surely, you jest, Comer.
Comer is fixing to find out just who exactly runs Barder Town.....and it ain’t him.

Peter Navarro was charged with contempt of congress for doing the same thing. He was tried and found guilty and sentenced to 4 months in prison. Let’s see if his and her Royal Highness face the same fate.
