NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
Today, @RepJamesComer and @GOPoversight passed BIPARTISAN resolutions holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for DEFYING congressional subpoenas on Epstein. https://t.co/J81FJfa8G3

Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer.
The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment. The House Oversight Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas require the Clintons to appear for depositions that are under oath and transcribed. Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result.
The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein’s crimes. As part of our investigation, the House Oversight Committee has released transcripts of interviews with former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, which has provided much needed transparency to the public. Without a formal record, Americans would be left to rely on competing accounts of what was said.
Former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee’s investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government’s work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family’s relationship with Mr. Epstein.
Contempt proceedings begin tomorrow.

House Oversight Chair James Comer drops a SCORCHING opening statement before the vote to hold the Clintons in contempt for ignoring subpoenas.
He displayed damning posters showing Bill Clinton in a hot tub with and getting massages from Epstein victims.
“Subpoenas are not mere suggestions. They carry the force of law and require compliance. Former President Clinton and Secretary Clinton were legally required to appear for depositions before this committee. They refused.”
“Since issuing the subpoenas, this committee has acted in good faith. We’ve offered flexibility on scheduling. The response we received was not cooperation, but defiance, marked by repeated delays, excuses, and obstruction.”
“Today, the Clintons must be held accountable for their actions. And Democrats must support these measures or they will be exposed as hypocrites.”
