On January 13, 2026, former President Bill Clinton skipped a subpoenaed closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee probing the federal government’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Reacting to the brazen disregard for the law, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced contempt proceedings against Clinton for next week.
Firing back in a defiant four-page letter, the Clintons refused compliance, shifting blame to their partisan politics, which they say are designed to halt Congress and potentially imprison them, while accusing Comer of obstructing facts.
