URGENT UPDATE: Republican Rep. James Comer has just announced that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could face contempt charges if they fail to appear for scheduled depositions related to their connections to registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee initially issued subpoenas for the Clintons in August, demanding their testimonies regarding their involvement with Epstein.
In a press release issued on Friday, Comer emphasized that if the Clintons do not attend depositions set for December 17 and December 18, or arrange to testify in early January, the Committee will pursue legal action against them. He stated, “Further delays are unacceptable… any attempt to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings.”
Comer highlighted that it has been over four months since the Clintons were subpoenaed, during which time they have allegedly obstructed efforts to schedule their testimonies. He stated, “If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable.”
This latest development raises significant questions about the Clintons’ accountability in a broader context of Epstein’s criminal activities. The disgraced financier, who died in August 2019 while awaiting trial, had ties to numerous high-profile individuals, including former President Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. As the House Oversight Committee moves forward, the implications of the Clintons’ involvement are likely to resonate widely.
The urgency of this situation cannot be understated. With the December deposits looming, all eyes will be on the Clintons and their response to this latest threat from the Oversight Committee. Failure to comply could not only lead to legal repercussions but also further tarnish their public image.
As the investigation unfolds, the public remains eager to see if the Clintons will comply or continue to evade accountability. Stay tuned for updates as this developing story progresses.
