Former President Bill Clinton seemingly disregarded a Congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning.
While Clinton was required to give a closed-door statement regarding the House’s bipartisan inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein, Fox News Digital reported that he was not seen before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. session.
James Comer, the Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, warned that if Clinton failed to appear in court on that day, he would initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against him.
This morning, Comer stated, “We will move before the House Oversight Committee next week to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress.”
Other members of the committee present included Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.).
Hillary Clinton has also been subpoenaed to testify in court on Wednesday, though it seems unlikely she will comply.
Lawyers representing the Clintons have sent a letter to Comer, contesting the validity of the subpoenas against them.
The letter, which was obtained by Fox News Digital, asserts, “The subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and unenforceable. Given these deficiencies, we hope you will act in good faith to resolve this conflict.”
