Key Points:
- Bill and Hillary Clinton have refused to comply with subpoenas from the Republican-led House oversight committee demanding testimony about their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, calling the subpoenas legally invalid and politically motivated.
- The subpoenas were issued as part of the committee’s investigation into the government’s handling of Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019, with committee chair James Comer emphasizing bipartisan support for the subpoenas and stating no accusations of wrongdoing against Bill Clinton.
- The Clintons criticized the committee’s investigation as ineffective and accused Republicans of prioritizing political attacks over uncovering facts, while also condemning their broader political agenda, including hardline immigration policies and pardons related to the January 6 insurrection.
