Clintons HELD IN CONTEMPT

The House Oversight Committee delivered a stunning bipartisan rebuke to Bill and Hillary Clinton, voting to hold both former officials in contempt of Congress after they repeatedly refused to testify about their knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network—a decision that could finally prove no one is truly above the law.

Bipartisan Rejection of Clinton Privilege

The House Oversight Committee voted January 21, 2026, to advance contempt resolutions against both Clintons after they refused to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas. The vote for Bill Clinton passed 34-8, with nine Democrats supporting the measure—including progressive members like Rashida Tlaib and Summer Lee. Hillary Clinton’s contempt resolution passed 28-15, with three Democrats voting in favor. This rare bipartisan accountability moment sends a clear message that congressional authority cannot be ignored simply because of political pedigree or past office.

Timeline of Evasion and Excuses

The subpoenas originated from a unanimous bipartisan vote on July 23, 2025, when the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee approved issuing subpoenas to ten individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Chairman James Comer officially issued the subpoenas on August 5, 2025. Initial depositions were scheduled for October 2025, but the Clintons requested postponements to December 17-18, citing funeral attendance. When the Committee accommodated them by offering January dates, they declined those as well. Both failed to appear for rescheduled January 13-14 depositions, demonstrating a pattern of obstruction.

Clinton Arrogance on Full Display

Rather than comply with lawful subpoenas like ordinary Americans must, the Clintons attempted to dictate terms that would make a mockery of congressional authority. Bill Clinton’s team proposed that only Chairman Comer and the Ranking Member travel to New York for an informal conversation with no official transcript and minimal staff participation. Chairman Comer rightfully rejected this absurd demand, citing Clinton’s well-documented history of parsing language to evade accountability—the same behavior that led to his impeachment and suspension from law practice. This attempted special treatment perfectly illustrates the entitled mindset that frustrates everyday Americans.

Epstein Connection Demands Answers

Bill Clinton’s documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein cannot be dismissed as irrelevant. Clinton traveled on Epstein’s plane during Clinton Foundation trips in the early 2000s, before Epstein faced sex crime charges. In December 2025, the Justice Department released Epstein-related documents that included several photographs of Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton’s relevance stems from her tenure as Secretary of State, during which she would have known about federal efforts against international sex-trafficking rings and had personal knowledge of Ghislaine Maxwell. Both have denied wrongdoing, but their refusal to testify under oath raises legitimate questions about what they’re hiding.

Equal Justice Finally Applied

Chairman Comer emphasized that the committee sent a clear message that no one is above the law, regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige. This principle matters deeply to conservatives who watched Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro serve prison sentences for defying congressional subpoenas issued by Democrats. The resolutions now advance to the full House for a vote. If approved by simple majority, they proceed to the Justice Department, which must decide whether to prosecute. Conviction carries up to one year imprisonment and fines up to $100,000 per count. This moment represents genuine accountability that transcends partisan gamesmanship.
