Republicans threaten contempt action after Bill Clinton ignores Epstein subpoena

A senior Republican has warned that former U.S. President Bill Clinton could face contempt-of-Congress proceedings after failing to appear before a House committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said the panel would move ahead with contempt action next week, arguing that Clinton ignored a subpoena issued as part of the investigation. Comer added that similar steps could be taken against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she does not comply with a separate request to testify.



Lawyers for the Clintons have rejected the subpoenas as ‘unenforceable’, saying the couple has already shared what they describe as their ‘limited knowledge’ of Epstein. They argue the committee’s demands lack a valid legislative purpose and amount to a politically motivated attempt to embarrass opponents.

Bill Clinton has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.

The dispute comes as Congress intensifies efforts to uncover Epstein’s ties to powerful figures, including a push to force the Justice Department to release all remaining investigative files, after lawmakers complained that only partial records have been made public.

  1. What a joke
    This is what non disclosure has been about all along from the beginning
    Protecting people like the Clinton’s who are above the Law
    Too big to fail
    Part of the crime family criminal cabal of fraudsters who have infiltrated corrupted and taken over America
    Never a Nation never United in Name only
    Limited knowledge of Epstein but Who had been on the Lolita Express at least thirty times
    What happened to Hillary Clinton’s E mails regarding Russia Gate a proven conspiracy and fraud?
    And Ursula Van Der Lying for that matter over perceived kick backs from big pharma during covid?
    What about James Comey who seems to have gone walkabout into the sunset?
    America is too big too disjointed and has become a rabid mad dog
    There may be something in this but I doubt it
    More window dressing more theater more antics
    More maneuvering in a distraction to the impending imminent strike on Iran?
    Should keep the sheeple occupied in looking the other way
    Time will tell

    • You could get lucky on the Lolita Express though
      And how many times had She got lucky?
      Before She met?
      Not to mention any names👅

    • Right so where’s the full and transparent criminal investigation into Epstein and his clients under the Republicans mate? I see the DOJ missed another deadline.

  2. The two gangs controlling the US are at each others throats again…..ironic given many from both sides, are in pics with Epstein. Of course, a through criminal investigation, would clear up who’s guilty and who’s not but we will never see that, in the corrupt USA. Or here I would imagine, were something similar to occur.

    • Wrong, there’s only one gang of criminals. The ones that rigged an election. The ones that opened the borders to millions of illegal emigrants to pad their fraudulent electoral process. The ones that are rejecting voter ID which you would only do if wanted to cheat. They have herded these illegals into sanctuary cities swelling the census to justify additional House Representatives. There is only one gang that’s prepared to trash their own country to retain power. 

      • Would it surprise you to know it was the Obama administration, that extended ICE and massively increased its funding, matey? You have been hoodwinked sunshine, just like people here, who somehow think there is a discernible difference between National and Labour.

        • I’m aware that Obama extended ICE by increasing the funding. What in the world has this got to do with my earlier statements? The Democrats are protecting their future voters by attacking ICE. You haven’t put a lot of thought into this sunshine.

          • You dont seem to be connecting the dots.. Neither side care that much about illegal immigration/voting “unless” it effects them personally. Hence my example regarding ICE, supposed to stop illegals entering the US, allegedly removing your voting issue. In truth its like using a band aid to plug a broken dam. ICE is a sop, a ruse, there’s no way it can do anything about the US’s borders in a meaningful way and they know it too. Nor do they want it to succeed, in truth. Cheap labour means bigger profit margins for big business and more lobbyist money for politicians. The circle of life.

            In short the uni-party that plays dirty tricks to get what they want but always knows where their mutual pay day is coming from.

  3. Yes and witness all the dim-witted suckered hordes of low-IQ sheep posters who actually think that the labour/democrat
    and national/republican snake brigades are “seperate” from each other….. pitiful……

    • Oh but its MAGA….doesn’t matter that they are in bed with Israel, just like the last lot or pushing the same globalist agenda, its the colour of the hat they put on their pointy heads, that counts, don’t you know……

      And yes agreed, their are some genuinely stupid people, posting pro Trump verbal detritus, on this site lately. I do wonder, if a number of them are not paid trolls, cruising the net, looking to stifle anyone, anywhere, who criticises the US and dear leader……..
