Why Are the American People Paying for a Contempt Vote for the Clintons Instead of a Criminal Investigation for their Epstein Crimes?
By The Blog Source
With a contempt vote approaching on Capitol Hill, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have finally consented to testify for depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The information came Monday during a House Rules Committee meeting, when Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) stated that the Clintons had accepted the basic criteria given out by Oversight Chairman James Comer. A spokeswoman for Bill Clinton confirmed the deal, while attorney Angel Ureña posted on X that the former president and former first lady “will be there” and are prepared to testify under oath.
According to the New York Times, the Clintons indicated they would attend on mutually convenient dates and requested House leaders to delay a contempt vote set for Wednesday. The request came after Comer's subpoenas, which were issued on August 5, 2025, had been disregarded for months after both Clintons had missed earlier dates to testify. That impasse triggered a bipartisan mutiny on the Oversight Committee, with nine Democrats joining Republicans to back contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and three Democrats backing contempt for Hillary Clinton.
The most recent offer did not impress Comer, who said it only came because the House was getting closer to enforcement. In a statement, he claimed the Clintons’ attorneys had again failed to offer dates and warned that the conditions remained ambiguous. He rejected a proposal earlier on Monday that would have limited Bill Clinton's testimony to four hours and replaced it with a sworn statement from Hillary Clinton, calling the plan "special treatment" and "an affront" to the public's demands for openness.

The back-and-forth played out in real time on Capitol Hill. While Comer was appearing before the Rules Committee, the Clintons' updated offer arrived in his email, causing the committee to halt its proceedings. Comer's resolution was one step away from a full House vote when Rules Chair Virginia Foxx subsequently said that the contempt move will not be considered until at least Tuesday.

If prosecutors were to pursue contempt and achieve convictions, the penalties could include prison time of up to one year and fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. For now, Comer has stated he will seek clarity on the Clintons’ pledges before determining how to continue.
Bill Clinton has admitted a connection with Epstein in the late 1990s and early 2000s but denies any misconduct. He has also acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s private plane many times while dismissing reports that he ever visited the financier’s private Caribbean island. If the Oversight Committee proceeds with its depositions, it would be the first time Congress questions both Clintons under oath about these connections.
