After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump [View all]

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrats now say Republicans have established a precedent when it comes to Congress’ ability to subpoena and haul in past presidents, first ladies and family members under threat of criminal charges if they refuse — a precedent they warn the GOP and Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will soon regret.

"We are absolutely going to have Donald Trump testify under oath" when Democrats take back power, California Rep. Ted Lieu, a member of Democratic leadership who for years has been highlighting Donald Trump's ties to Epstein, told NBC News on Tuesday.

“It is a big deal,” added Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., a former House majority leader who is retiring after serving more than 45 years in the chamber. “And it’d be interesting to see what former President Trump thinks of that premise.”
