Bill and Hillary Clinton declined to testify in a House Republican investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing it as a partisan effort. In a letter to Rep. James Comer, the Clintons stated, “Everyone must decide when they’ve had enough and are ready to stand up for this country, its values, and its people—regardless of what it costs.” They added, “Now is that time for us.” The committee plans to hold former President Clinton in contempt next week, which could lead to criminal charges, and will also pursue contempt proceedings against Hillary Clinton if she doesn’t appear before the panel on Wednesday.
The Clintons indicated they had provided what limited information they possessed for the investigation and accused Comer of diverting attention from the Trump administration’s actions. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, with authorities ruling his death a suicide. The Clintons argued that if the government failed to thoroughly investigate these crimes, that failure should be their focus, not politics. They claimed there is no credible evidence implicating Clinton in sex trafficking.
Comer asserted that most Americans want Bill Clinton to answer questions related to Epstein. He highlighted that Epstein visited the White House 17 times during Clinton’s presidency and flew on Epstein’s private plane approximately 27 times. Clinton has publicly expressed regret over his association with Epstein but insists he was unaware of any criminal activity. No evidence has linked Clinton to sex trafficking.
The Justice Department continues releasing files related to Epstein’s criminal investigations, some of which involve connections with Trump and the Clintons. In response to the subpoenas for their testimony, the Clintons’ lawyers called them invalid and alleged they were simply political ploys aimed at embarrassing opponents, as per President Trump’s directives.
