House Oversight Chairman James Comer is turning up the heat on Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The couple, subpoenaed over four months ago, faces depositions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, as detailed by Breitbart News.
Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, made his stance clear in a Friday press release, accusing the Clintons of delaying and obstructing the process. Their refusal to engage with committee staff has pushed patience to its limit.
Back in August, Comer issued subpoenas not just to the Clintons but also to other high-profile figures tied to the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigation. Names like William Barr, Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey also surfaced on that list.
The probe seeks answers about the horrific crimes linked to Epstein, a convicted pedophile, and Maxwell, his associate. Comer’s frustration stems from what he sees as a pattern of evasion by the Clintons, who have yet to commit to a testimony date.
“It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions,” Comer stated. Such foot-dragging, in his view, mocks the gravity of uncovering the truth behind Epstein’s network.
Bill Clinton’s own words in his 2024 book, “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” admit to flying on Epstein’s private plane, dubbed the Lolita Express, for Clinton Global Initiative work. He wrote, “I wish I had never met him,” lamenting the endless questions that followed.
Records also show Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times shortly after Clinton took office in 1993. That level of access raises eyebrows about what connections lingered beneath the surface.
Comer isn’t buying any excuses for dodging accountability, especially when the public demands clarity on how deep these ties ran. If the Clintons think they can sidestep this, they’re misreading the resolve to expose every shadow of this scandal.
In November, Comer sent a direct letter to the Clintons’ attorney, insisting on in-person depositions for the federal investigation. He’s not playing games, signaling that noncompliance won’t be tolerated.
A spokesperson for Comer told Fox News the Clintons act as if rules don’t apply to them, stonewalling efforts to schedule their testimony. “Time’s up,” the spokesperson declared, echoing a sentiment that patience has run dry.
The threat of contempt of Congress proceedings hangs heavy if they fail to appear next week or lock in a date for early January. This isn’t a political stunt; it’s a push for answers that victims and the public deserve.
The Clintons’ history of navigating scandals might embolden them to brush off this summons, but Comer’s warning suggests the game has changed. No one should stand above the law, especially when the crimes tied to Epstein cry out for resolution.
Dragging this out for months while victims’ families wait for the truth is a slap in the face to justice. If the Clintons have nothing to hide, sitting for a deposition shouldn’t be such a battle.
Wednesday and Thursday will tell whether they comply or force Congress to escalate with contempt proceedings. Either way, the nation watches, hungry for accountability over elite privilege in a case that’s already stained too many lives.
