Hold onto your hats, folks — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is spearheading a bold move to drag former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton into the spotlight over their ties to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, as the Washington Examiner reports.
Comer is banking on a bipartisan congressional subpoena to compel the Clintons to testify about their relationship with the late sex offender, expressing confidence in a recent Newsmax interview that this effort could finally stick.
Let’s rewind a bit — Epstein, before his death six years ago while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in a New York jail, was a well-connected figure, rubbing elbows with the Clintons, President Donald Trump, and a slew of academic and business elites.
Tracing the Clintons’ Epstein connection
Back in 2002, Bill Clinton famously accompanied Epstein on a trip to Africa aboard the financier’s Boeing 727, joined by actors like Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey, for a mission tied to HIV, AIDS, and economic development.
That same year, a New York magazine profile noted Clinton’s ties not just to Epstein, but also to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s then-girlfriend, who’s now serving a 20-year sentence for her role in facilitating his crimes.
Fast forward to today, and Comer isn’t mincing words, calling Bill Clinton a “prime suspect” in the Epstein saga while pushing for his testimony as early as October.
Bipartisan subpoena packs punch
“I think we have a very good chance at this,” Comer told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty, and he’s got reason to be optimistic with both Republicans and Democrats backing the subpoena.
“This is a bipartisan, congressionally approved subpoena, and I think that will hold a lot of weight in court,” Comer added, signaling that even the Clintons’ top-tier legal team might struggle to dodge this one.
Turns out, bipartisan support isn’t just window dressing — it’s a rare hammer in a divided Congress, and Comer’s betting it’ll crack open some long-buried answers.
Historical odds, legal hurdles
Comer isn’t blind to the challenge, noting that in the last century, only two presidents — Harry Truman and Donald Trump — have faced congressional subpoenas, and neither showed up to testify.
“But we’re going to do everything we can,” Comer insisted, emphasizing that this subpoena stands out due to its bipartisan committee vote.
Still, with the Department of Justice dragging its feet on releasing full details of the Epstein case — citing victim privacy concerns through Attorney General Pam Bondi — the road to testimony remains rocky.
Contempt looms if Clintons resist
If the Clintons refuse to appear for deposition hearings, Comer warns they could face contempt of Congress charges, a consequence that’s no small potatoes even for political heavyweights.
Yet, with the DOJ’s reluctance to fully enforce subpoena violations, one has to wonder if this push will have the teeth it needs — actions, after all, should have consequences, shouldn’t they?
Comer, undeterred, acknowledges the steep odds but pledges to fight tooth and nail, reminding us that even the most powerful aren’t above accountability when the public demands answers.
