In brief
In a significant political move, Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has announced he will initiate contempt-of-Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton. This action follows Clinton's absence from a scheduled testimony regarding the investigations into the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. Should former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also refuse to answer questions, she may face similar proceedings. The Clintons' legal team has criticized the subpoenas as unenforceable.
A Republican lawmaker is vowing to begin contempt-of-Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton after he failed to show up on Tuesday to testify before a committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters that he will start proceedings against Clinton next week, and could do the same against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she fails to answer questions.
The committee had issued subpoenas for both Clintons to testify about the late convicted sex offender.
Lawyers for the Clintons called the subpoenas unenforceable, and said they had already provided the limited information they had about Epstein.
