Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agrees to testify regarding their connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
Bill Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Angel Ureña, said in a social media statement, “They negotiated in good faith. You did not. They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.”
The statement comes in response to a letter sent by the House Oversight Committee to the Clintons’ attorneys, which said that the Clintons’ demands were “not reasonable.”
“The conditions requested thus would enable President Clinton to refuse to answer whatever questions he wanted for whatever reasons he wanted and leave as the Committee’s only recourse to again subpoena President Clinton’s testimony, effectively restarting this entire process from the beginning,” the letter read.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) previously threatened to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress after they refused to appear before the Committee. “I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee,” Comer told reporters last month, adding, “No one’s accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that’s why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton.”
Clinton shared a letter addressed to Comer on social media, also signed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, calling the subpoenas “legally invalid.”
