Bill Clinton Defies Epstein Probe Subpoena; House Oversight Committee To Move For Contempt

Описание: Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have officially refused to appear for depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Following Bill Clinton’s failure to appear for his scheduled testimony on Tuesday, Committee Chairman James Comer announced that the panel will move to hold the former president in contempt of Congress next week. In a scathing letter addressed to Comer, the Clintons defended their decision, stating, '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. For us, now is that time.' The Clintons’ legal team argued that the subpoenas are 'legally invalid' and serve as a political ploy to embarrass rivals. While the committee maintains it has questions regarding Bill Clinton’s relationship with Epstein, officials clarified that he has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Legal analysts suggest that the move toward contempt proceedings could lead to a protracted legal battle, potentially involving the Justice Department if criminal contempt charges are pursued. Hillary Clinton, who was scheduled for a deposition on Wednesday, is also expected to skip her appearance, potentially triggering similar proceedings.
