These nine Democrats on House Oversight voted to advance Bill Clinton contempt resolution

Nine Democratic lawmakers voted with Republicans on the House Oversight Committee Wednesday to advance a resolution to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify before the panel.The House panel voted in a 34-8 split to advance the resolution to a floor vote. It also voted to advance a resolution to hold former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt for the same reason, but it passed in a smaller 28-15 split.
The Oversight Panel had summoned the Clintons to testify about their connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein amid deep frustrations with the DOJ’s handling of the case. Neither appeared before the panel.
Here are the nine Democrats on the panel who voted with their Republican counterparts: 
California Rep. Lateefah Simon
Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost
Illinois Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi
Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley
Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch
Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib
New Mexico Rep. Melanie Stansbury
Pennsylvania Rep. Summer Lee
Washington Rep. Emily Randall.
The three Democrats who voted to advance the resolution against Hillary Clinton are Lee, Stansbury and Tlaib, according to Politico. 
Two Democrats voted “present” for the Bill Clinton contempt resolution: California Rep. David Min and Washington Rep. Yassamin Ansari, while just Min voted “present” on the Hillary Clinton resolution.
