Just In: Bill and Hillary Clinton Refuse To Testify in Front of House Oversight Committee, Daring Chairman Comer To Hold Them in Contempt of Congress
The Clintons have called what they feel is Comer’s bluff.
After months of dispute against House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Bill and Hillary Clinton have today (13) REFUSED to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
This escalates the battle with Comer, Republican of Kentucky, and the former U.S. President and Secretary of State are effectively daring him to hold them in contempt of Congress.

The New York Times reported:
“’Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences’, the Clintons wrote in a lengthy letter to Mr. Comer, which was obtained by The New York Times. ‘For us, now is that time’.”
Unsurprisingly, the NYT report says Comer wants to force the Clintons to testify to deflect from Donald J. Trump, and ‘shift the spotlight onto prominent Democrats’ who associated with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – which is the obvious case of Bill and Hillary.
Comer repeatedly threatened to hold them in contempt of Congress if they failed to appear for live depositions behind closed doors.
He set a deadline today (13) for Bill Clinton to appear, and Wednesday (14) for Hillary.
“But hours before the deadline, the Clintons made clear that they had no intention of presenting themselves on Capitol Hill to be questioned by Mr. Comer and members of his committee. They did so by submitting an eight-page legal letter laying out why they considered the subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable,” then followed up with a scorching missive that they signed jointly, promising to fight Mr. Comer on the issue for as long as it took.
In the letter, the Clintons noted that they had proactively provided Mr. Comer with sworn statements similar to ones he had accepted from seven or eight other former law enforcement officials he had also subpoenaed and then excused from testifying before the committee. The Clintons have repeatedly said they have no knowledge relevant to the investigation.”
Today, they went publicly to war against Comer and the whole Trump administration.
“We are confident that any reasonable person in or out of Congress will see, based on everything we release, that what you are doing is trying to punish those who you see as your enemies and to protect those you think are your friends,” they wrote.”
