In brief
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is set to start contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton following his no-show at a committee hearing focused on Jeffrey Epstein. The committee issued subpoenas for both Bill and Hillary Clinton, with potential proceedings against Hillary should she also fail to respond. The Clintons' legal team dismisses the subpoenas as unenforceable, claiming compliance with previous requests for information.
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.
