Comer Threatens Contempt if Bill and Hillary Clinton Skip Epstein Depositions Next Week

The move lands days before a legal deadline for the Justice Department to release Epstein-related records.

Overview

  • Depositions are set for Dec. 17 for Bill Clinton and Dec. 18 for Hillary Clinton, with a contempt process threatened if they do not appear or set early January dates.
  • Subpoenas were approved in July and issued on Aug. 5, and Chairman James Comer says the Clintons have resisted scheduling their testimony.
  • Democrats on the Oversight Committee released dozens of photos from Epstein's estate, including images of Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump.
  • Associated Press reporting notes no Epstein accuser has alleged wrongdoing by Bill Clinton, and his spokesperson says he flew on Epstein’s jet but did not visit his homes or know of crimes.
  • The committee’s push coincides with an imminent deadline for the Justice Department to publish Epstein case files under a new law that permits certain redactions.
