Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton could face contempt of Congress because they have ignored subpoenas sent by James Comer, chairman of the Republican House Oversight Committee, who wants them to testify about the ongoing investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, leader of a child sex trafficking ring.

In the middle of last month, under pressure from Democrats, the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed in the House of Representatives, requiring the release of all files related to the case of New York financier Jeffrey Edward Epstein, who ended up imprisoned at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he later died.

As the date for the release of the controversial files approaches, indications have emerged pointing to several Democrats allegedly also linked to Epstein, such as Larry Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury; and Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader; and Bill Clinton, former president of the nation.

Regarding the former president, some photographs even surfaced showing him alongside the controversial businessman.

For this reason, Republican James Comer has been demanding for several weeks that Clinton and his wife Hillary appear before Congress to clarify how deep their relationship was with the leader of the child sex trafficking ring and with his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The subpoenas were sent in early August, and the Clintons are scheduled to testify on December 17 and 18.

“If the Clintons do not appear for their depositions next week or do not schedule a date by early January, the Oversight Committee will initiate contempt proceedings to hold them accountable,” Comer warned.

In addition to the Clintons, the Oversight Committee also wants to hear testimony from James Comey, Loretta Lynch,Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales. However, the list could grow once the files are made available for thorough analysis.
