Clinton did not show up for the scheduled deposition, despite months of communication between his legal team and the committee.
His attorneys sent an eight‑page letter arguing the subpoena was legally invalid, lacked a legitimate legislative purpose, and that the Clintons had already provided all relevant information voluntarily.
Committee Chair James Comer announced the panel will move forward next week with a vote to hold Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a “lawful subpoena.”
Comer said Epstein visited the White house 17 times when Clinton was in office and that Democrats subpoenaed him.
Clinton posted on X that this is not about right or left but about right or wrong and Comer retorted with a post directed to him saying, "You’re right, President Clinton. This is about right and wrong.
Epstein’s survivors deserve justice and answers.
Refusing to comply with a bipartisan, duly authorized congressional subpoena in our Epstein investigation is unacceptable.
No one is above the law." Several photos with Clinton and Epstein or women were attached to this message.
