Rep. James Comer (R-KY) just dropped a bombshell by threatening contempt of Congress charges against Bill and Hillary Clinton over their refusal to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Comer, is digging deep into the sordid crimes of Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, issuing subpoenas to the Clintons for testimony on their past ties to the disgraced financier.
Back in July 2025, the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee gave a nod via voice vote to subpoena 10 individuals, including the former president and former secretary of state, to spill what they know about Epstein’s misdeeds.
By August 2025, Comer officially sent out those subpoenas, aiming to get answers from a roster of heavy hitters, including not just the Clintons but also former Attorneys General like Merrick Garland and Bill Barr, who served under President Donald Trump.
Originally slated for October 2025, the Clintons’ depositions were pushed to Dec. 17 for Bill and Dec. 18 for Hillary after negotiations with their attorney, David Kendall, who has so far stayed mum when contacted for comment.
But as the clock ticks down, Comer isn’t playing games, warning on Dec. 12, 2025, that ignoring these summons could land the power couple in hot water with Congress.
"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," Comer stated firmly.
"Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee staff's efforts to schedule their testimony," he added, not mincing words about their apparent foot-dragging.
Let’s be real—when a congressional committee is chasing answers about a scandal as dark as Epstein’s, stalling tactics don’t exactly scream innocence, though the Clintons deserve their day to explain.
Adding fuel to the fire, Democrats on the committee released 19 photos from Epstein’s estate just hours before Comer’s statement, showing figures like Bill Clinton alongside Donald Trump and Britain’s Prince Andrew.
These images, part of a staggering 95,000 provided to the committee, remind us just how tangled the web of Epstein’s elite connections was, raising eyebrows about who knew what and when.
Bill Clinton’s history with Epstein isn’t news—trips on the financier’s private plane post-presidency have long been documented, though a spokesperson insists he severed ties before Epstein’s 2019 arrest and knew nothing of the alleged crimes.
Epstein, who died by suicide in federal custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, left behind a legacy of questions that Congress is determined to answer through testimony and investigative records.
Other subpoenaed names include former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, signaling this probe isn’t just about the Clintons—it’s a sweeping effort to uncover the full scope of Epstein’s network.
If the Clintons skip their deposition dates next week or fail to reschedule for early January 2026, Comer has made it clear that contempt proceedings are on the table, and frankly, it’s hard to argue with holding powerful folks accountable, no matter their pedigree.
