In brief
A Republican lawmaker is set to begin contempt-of-Congress proceedings against former President Bill Clinton following his failure to appear before a congressional committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. Chairman James Comer announced that proceedings could also extend to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she does not comply with the inquiries prompted by the committee. The Clintons' lawyers have dismissed the subpoenas as 'unenforceable,' claiming they provided all available 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.
