Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed yesterday to testify in James Comer’s “oversight” investigation into Trump buddy and convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein, just days before the House was expected to hold them in criminal contempt of Congress.
For months, the Clintons said they would not comply with subpoenas from Comer, something they said was “invalid and legally unenforceable.” They accused Comer of being part of a plot to target them as Trump’s political adversaries and promised to fight him.
But after some Democrats on the panel joined Republicans in a vote to recommend charging them with criminal contempt, an extraordinary first step in referring them to the Justice Department for prosecution, the Clintons ultimately agreed to comply with Comer’s demands.
