House oversight chair says panel will move to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The House oversight committee, led by Republican chair James Comer, will move to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after she refused to comply with a subpoena for testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This announcement follows Hillary and Bill Clinton's refusal to honor the subpoenas to discuss their relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The contempt charge will require approval from the oversight committee and the House of Representatives, both Republican-led, before being referred to the Justice Department. The oversight committee subpoenaed the Clintons and others in August after the Justice Department closed the Epstein matter, sparking outrage. The committee has since released documents detailing Epstein's relationships with figures like Donald Trump.
