The Clinton family has had influence in American politics for far too long. Now it’s all crashing down.
Because they are finally having to answer for their crimes before Congress.
Comer Demands In-Person Testimony From Evasive Clintons in Epstein Probe
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is ramping up pressure on Bill and Hillary Clinton, issuing firm orders for the former first couple to sit for depositions next month as part of the committee’s deep dive into the sordid world of convicted s-x offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes after the Clintons’ lawyer tried to dodge face-to-face questioning by proposing a mere written summary of their supposedly limited knowledge.
In rejecting that ploy, Comer highlighted the Clintons’ admitted possession of relevant details while slamming their push to skip live testimony.
“Given the admission that your clients possess some relevant information, your position amounts to a demand that the Committee forgo in-person testimony, potentially relevant to its legislative oversight,” the powerful GOP chairman said.
“Additionally, your suggestion that your clients’ testimony would not be relevant to the stated purposes of the Committee’s investigation because the events in question took place outside of the Clintons’ respective official duties misses the Committee’s point,” Comer added.
“It is precisely the fact President Clinton and Secretary Clinton each maintained relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell in their personal capacities as private citizens that is of interest to the Committee.”
Bill Clinton is slated to appear at 10 a.m. on December 17, with Hillary following at the same time the next day—though legal experts speculate the pair might hide behind executive privilege claims, even if their Epstein ties were purely personal and far from official duties.
Clintons’ Deep Entanglements with Epstein’s Criminal Network Exposed
The scrutiny underscores the Clintons’ longstanding and troubling associations with Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now behind bars for 20 years on s-x-trafficking charges. Maxwell even showed up at Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding, while Bill racked up over a dozen flights on Epstein’s infamous “Lolita Express” jet post-presidency. Hillary, meanwhile, pocketed campaign donations from the disgraced financier during her Senate run before his legal troubles exploded in the mid-2000s.
Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea in Florida for soliciting a minor didn’t deter his hobnobbing with power players, including politicians and royals. He faced fresh federal charges in July 2019 but was found dead in his cell a month later—ruled a su*cide. This past July, the Trump-era DOJ wrapped up its review, finding no grounds to charge any third parties and debunking myths of a secret “client list” or blackmail schemes.
Back in 2019, amid Epstein’s arrest, a Clinton spokesperson distanced the ex-president, claiming he “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” and “knows nothing about the terrible crimes.”
Attorney’s Half-Hearted Cooperation Fails to Satisfy Investigators
The Clintons’ attorney, David Kendall, had earlier floated a cooperative facade in his November response, acknowledging the public’s right to answers but insisting a paper submission would suffice given their alleged scant insights.
“What we have learned over the years about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is abhorrent,” Kendall wrote.
“The public’s demand for transparency from its government about their criminality is both understandable and warranted,” Kendall said. “Former President Clinton and former Secretary Clinton welcome legitimate oversight in this matter that is grounded in fact.”
“In that regard, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary Hillary Clinton have little to contribute to that legitimate goal, all of which can be readily submitted on paper,” he added.
Unlike the Clintons, several other subpoenaed figures—like former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Jeff Sessions, Alberto Gonzales, and ex-FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller (whose subpoena was dropped due to his 2021 Parkinson’s diagnosis)—got off with written statements affirming zero relevant info. Only Bill Barr, from the first Trump administration, has actually testified. As of Friday, neither Kendall nor Clinton representatives have bothered to comment on the escalating demands.
