Republicans vow to hold Bill Clinton in contempt as he skips Epstein testimony
AI Summary
Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is initiating contempt of Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton after he failed to appear for a scheduled testimony on Tuesday. The committee seeks information regarding Clinton's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Comer also suggested similar action could be taken against Hillary Clinton if she doesn't cooperate on Wednesday. Lawyers for the Clintons argue the subpoenas are politically motivated and that they have already provided relevant information. The subpoenas follow the release of photos showing Bill Clinton with Epstein, prompting renewed scrutiny of their past association, which Clinton's spokesperson claims ended before Epstein's crimes became public. The committee claims the subpoenas were voted on in a bipartisan manner.
