In brief
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced intentions to begin contempt proceedings against former President Bill Clinton after he failed to appear for a testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The committee's subpoenas could also extend to Hillary Clinton, should she also decline to answer inquiries. The Clintons' legal team has characterized the subpoenas as 'unenforceable' and claimed that they have already provided necessary information regarding 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.
