Bill Clinton Jeffrey Epstein Contempt Proceedings: House Republicans Launch Legal Offensive
House Oversight Chairman James Comer vows to start contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton after he failed to testify regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
Republicans are tightening the noose around former President Bill Clinton. After the former leader failed to appear for a high-stakes testimony regarding the late Jeffrey Epstein, a top lawmaker is moving to hold him in contempt of Congress.
Bill Clinton Jeffrey Epstein Contempt Proceedings Origins
According to Reuters, James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told reporters he'll start contempt proceedings against Clinton next week. The move comes after Clinton skipped his scheduled appearance on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The committee is investigating the ties between the former president and Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019.
A Brewing Legal Battle over Subpoenas
Lawyers for the Clintons aren't backing down. They've labeled the subpoenas "unenforceable," claiming they've already shared the limited information they have about Epstein. However, Comer hasn't ruled out similar action against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she fails to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
