WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House Oversight Committee announced Tuesday that it will seek to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress after he failed to appear for a deposition as part of the panel's probe into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena, which again was voted unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner, we will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress," Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill.

The committee had scheduled a deposition with Clinton for Tuesday morning, as well as a deposition with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for Wednesday.

In a letter to Comer, the Clintons said they didn't plan to appear for the depositions. “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 an eight-page letter. “For us, now is that time.”

3. TRUMPSTEIN FILES ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW!!!

Release ALL files NOW!
Jail all who seek further illegal delays and hold them in contempt in prison until the law is followed. ALL OF THEM!

4. "Streisand effect?"

Surely this is going to just put the spotlight back on Epstein and the fact that DOJ is illegally refusing to release the files.

8. Bannon has already served jail time for failing to comply with a Congressional subpoena

7. This would set an interesting precedent

I'm sure that future Congresses will want to subpoena former Presidents, especially in 2029.

9. I definitely would've thrown in a "we'll show up and testify right after his long-time pal Donald Trump does"

if it were me, but overall, cool!

10. I would have shown up and testified. I always prefer telling people to go fuck themselves in person.

But that’s just me.
