In brief
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced plans to start contempt-of-Congress proceedings against Bill Clinton after he did not appear before the committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. The Clinton attorneys criticized the subpoenas as unenforceable, claiming they have already provided limited information pertaining to Epstein.
A Republican lawmaker is vowing to begin contempt-of-Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton after he failed to show up on Tuesday to testify before a committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters that he will start proceedings against Clinton next week, and could do the same against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she fails to answer questions.
The committee had issued subpoenas for both Clintons to testify about the late convicted sex offender.
Lawyers for the Clintons called the subpoenas unenforceable, and said they had already provided the limited information they had about Epstein.
