House Oversight Chairman James Comer just dropped a bombshell reminder to Bill and Hillary Clinton: show up for your depositions next week or face the heat of contempt of Congress proceedings.
Comer is pressing the former president and former secretary of state to testify behind closed doors about their alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein, with dates set for Dec. 17 and Dec. 18, following subpoenas issued back in August, Just The News reported.
This saga started months ago when Comer first subpoenaed the Clintons, seeking clarity on their ties to the disgraced financier whose crimes have haunted political circles for years.
Since those subpoenas landed in August, Comer claims the Clintons have been dodging, delaying, and outright ignoring efforts by committee staff to nail down their testimony dates.
If they skip next week’s sessions or fail to reschedule for early January, Comer has made it crystal clear that the Oversight Committee will initiate contempt proceedings to hold them accountable.
“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.
“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, painting a picture of stonewalling that’s hard to ignore.
Now, let’s unpack that: if true, this isn’t just a scheduling snafu—it’s a deliberate sidestep of congressional oversight, which raises eyebrows about what might be lurking behind the curtain.
To be fair, the Clintons haven’t been accused of any wrongdoing in this matter, and they’re not alone in facing scrutiny over Epstein’s shadow.
Other Democrats subpoenaed in this probe have written to Comer’s committee, insisting they knew nothing about Epstein or his actions.
Comer, however, isn’t buying blanket denials, noting that such claims could amount to perjury if later disproven in court—a polite but pointed warning to keep the record straight.
One has to wonder: if there’s truly nothing to hide, why the apparent reluctance to sit down and clear the air once and for all?
Comer’s latest statement doubles down on accountability, with a stark ultimatum: “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.”
That’s not just a nudge; it’s a neon sign flashing that the committee means business, and the Clintons’ next move could set a precedent for how far congressional oversight can push against political heavyweights.
While some might see this as political theater, it’s worth remembering that transparency isn’t a partisan issue—it’s the bedrock of trust in governance, and dodging subpoenas only fuels skepticism about elite privilege.
