Bill and Hillary Clinton announced they would not comply with a subpoena demanding congressional testimony about their relationships to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, while launching an extraordinary attack on Republicans and Donald Trump.
Bill Clinton’s subpoena commanded him to appear for testimony by Tuesday, and Hillary Clinton by Wednesday. After the former president did not show up, Comer told reporters at the Capitol that he would move to hold him in contempt next week.
“I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee. This wasn’t something that I just issued as chairman of the committee,” Comer said.
“No one’s accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing. We just have questions, and that’s why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton.”
Clinton was known to be friendly with Epstein in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before the financier pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor in Florida.
Everybody Sucks Here in this country. Me too, thanks.
Greetings, fellow piece of 💩. I too, stink something horrid, but thankfully I can’t smell it.
While I want the committees to investigate all of the folks associated with Epstein, I understand it’s also quite unprecedented to subpoena a former president, especially considering Trump himself has refused subpoenas I believe. Maybe let’s not start with a former president of the minority party and actually release all the files?
Not trying to defend the Clinton’s, I can’t believe they were ignorant of what Epstein was doing…
But this batch of politicians in congress and the senate are particularly very weird.
