House Oversight Committee Demands Clinton Family Answer Questions on Epstein Connection

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday that the committee expects former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to comply with subpoenas requiring sworn testimony about their relationship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a recent statement, Comer said the subpoenas mark a significant step toward answering long-standing questions surrounding Epstein’s powerful associates. He emphasized that the subpoenas carry unusual legal weight because they were approved with bipartisan support, including votes from Democrats on the committee.

“This is a congressional subpoena,” Comer stated. “It’s a unique congressional subpoena. It was voted on in a bipartisan manner by the House Oversight Committee … so it will stand up in court.”

Comer said committee lawyers are in active discussions with Clinton attorneys but emphasized that full compliance is expected. “We do expect them to have to sit down and answer questions, or they will be held in contempt,” he added.

According to Comer, the Oversight Committee is seeking basic factual answers that he says have never been publicly addressed by Bill Clinton. “[President] Donald Trump has answered thousands of questions about his relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” Comer said. “But Bill Clinton’s never answered a single question.”

The testimony was initially scheduled for this week but has now been delayed until January as details are finalized.

Comer noted that the deposition will be transcribed, with members of both parties expected to participate in questioning. He stressed that the inquiry does not accuse the Clintons of criminal wrongdoing but rather focuses on transparency and public accountability.

“No one is accusing the Clintons of any wrongdoing,” Comer said. “But we know that Ghislaine Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. There weren’t many people there, so there was a close relationship.”

Comer also criticized Democrats for their handling of the Epstein files, calling it “a real disappointment” and accusing them of politicizing the issue. He stated: “This was voted in a bipartisan manner for the House Oversight Committee to conduct this investigation. The purpose is to get justice for victims and provide the American people with the truth.”

Instead, Comer said Democrats have worked to “deceive” and “disrupt” the process by releasing misleading materials. “It’s been a clown show,” he added. “They release pictures and redact faces to make it seem like Donald Trump did something wrong when there is no evidence.”

“At the end of the day, the Democrats have proven they don’t care about the victims,” Comer said. “All they care about is trying to somehow hang something around Donald Trump’s neck.”
