For many social media users, the irony was inescapable. Former President Bill Clinton, whose first term started with the bloodbath in Waco, Texas, and whose second term included impeachment on charges of lying under oath, took to social media on Sunday to weigh in on the leftist violence erupting in Minnesota. And the responses it stirred were scathing.

Former President Bill Clinton accused the Trump administration of lying to the American people about the shootings that have taken place in Minneapolis at the hands of federal immigration officers. In a statement Sunday, the Democratic former president fiercely condemned the “horrible scenes” in Minneapolis “that I never thought would take place in America.”

Chairman James R. Comer said Tuesday the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee would take up a contempt of Congress measure against Bill Clinton next week, after the former president did not show up for a deposition tied to the panel’s investigation of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Committee approval of a contempt of Congress measure would be the first step on a path that could lead to legal troubles for the Democratic former president, a figure vilified by conservatives and President Donald Trump. Republican lawmakers gathered Tuesday morning in the Rayburn House Office Building as a scrum of TV...

@RepThomasMassie The Clinton’s think they’re above the law but they’re not. They must comply with congressional subpoenas and appear before the House of Representatives, or face arrest, conviction, and incarceration. I suspect they’ve observed Bondi’s lack of resolve and have decided to test it.

The Clintons have called what they feel is Comer’s bluff. After months of dispute against House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Bill and Hillary Clinton have today (13) REFUSED to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation. This escalates the battle with Comer, Republican of Kentucky, and the former U.S. President and Secretary of State are effectively daring him to hold them in contempt of Congress.

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee is now moving to hold BILL CLINTON in CONTEMPT of Congress after he refused to testify in the Epstein investigation "We WILL move to hold Clinton in contempt!" GOOD! NOBODY is above the law.

Summary Bill Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, accused the White House of using Clinton as a scapegoat following the congressional release of government files on Friday, which included photos of Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, a redacted young woman in a pool, and at a dinner with figures like Mick Jagger. In a statement on X, Ureña claimed the White House delayed the release to shield itself from future revelations, not to protect Clinton, and noted that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles had stated Donald Trump was wrong about Clinton visiting Epstein's island. Clinton maintains he ended ties...

Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, are being pressured to appear for depositions related to the case of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a press release Friday, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a statement regarding the depositions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. “It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions related to our investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes. Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee...

The mask is off. The deep state operatives in Pennsylvania – that battleground fortress we fought tooth and nail to reclaim – have finally confessed to a treasonous betrayal that reeks of the swamp's foulest underbelly. For decades, non-citizens, including illegals flooding our borders like an unchecked invasion, have been handed the keys to our sacred ballot box. And it all traces back to one man: Bill Clinton, the slick architect of the 1993 "Motor Voter" law that turned our election integrity into a sieve. This isn't some fever dream from the resistance – it's official, on-record admission from Pennsylvania's...

Former President Bill Clinton has expressed remorse over his role in negotiating a 1994 deal that resulted in Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal, suggesting that Russia never would have invaded its smaller neighbor if it still had nukes. “I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons. And none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons,” Clinton told Irish broadcaster RTE in an interview that aired Tuesday. The 42nd president was referencing a landmark post-Cold War deal in which then-Ukrainian President...

Former President Bill Clinton, on ABC's "The View" on Thursday, said he didn't have concerns about former President Joe Biden's mental sharpness amid a slate of reports that allege a decline in Biden's acuity during the 2024 campaign and at the end of his presidency. "Well, I think you have to pay attention to them," Clinton said when asked about the accounts. "But all I can say is whenever I was around him, his mind was clear, his judgment was good and he was on top of his brief." Clinton went on to question decisions made by the White House...

President Bill Clinton criticized President Trump's actions attacking the rule of law, and predicted that the president would pay a price among those who believe his actions are un-American. "We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, 'Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It's my way or the highway.' And most Americans don't agree with that," Clinton said in an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning." "But I like to think that he's paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around … I think it's made...

PRESIDENT CLINTON: Good evening. Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world. Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons. I want to explain why I have decided,...

Former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that he was open to discussing a potential preemptive pardon for his wife Hillary Clinton with President Joe Biden. Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “Do you think it would be wise of President Biden to preemptively pardon any potential targets? What about your wife, Hillary Clinton? She apparently is on Kash Patel’s list.” Clinton said, “They’ve got a problem with her because first, she didn’t do anything wrong. Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third, Trump’s State Department — Trump’s State Department — found — remember how...

Former President Bill Clinton relitigated the e-mail scandal of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (snip) with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. SCARBOROUGH: I want to read from something that you wrote in the book about the 2016 election. This whole thing is hard for me to write. I couldn't sleep for two years after the election.

I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts, rage, which lasted for years, and bothered or bored people who thought it was pointless to rehash things that couldn't be changed. In this chapter,...

I was so angry, I wasn’t fit to be around.”

Former President Clinton said in an interview that aired Sunday that he believes the U.S. is set to have a woman-led executive branch “pretty soon.” “I still think we’ll have a … female president pretty soon,” Clinton said in an interview on “CBS News Sunday Morning” with the outlet’s Tracy Smith. Vice President Harris, who recently lost her bid for the White House to President-elect Trump, would have been the first woman, Black woman and person of South Asian descent to secure the presidency if she had won.
