House Republicans Push Contempt Charges Against Clintons in Epstein Probe
- •House Republicans initiated contempt proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton for refusing to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

- •Committee Chairman James Comer stated the Clintons showed "defiance" to subpoenas, which he emphasized carry the force of law.
- •The Clintons argue the subpoenas are invalid and claim they were unaware of Epstein's abuse, offering written declarations instead of testimony.
- •Democrats criticize Comer for focusing on the Clintons while the Justice Department delays releasing full Epstein files, but agree no one is above the law.
