House Judiciary Chairman James Comer on Tuesday revealed that the Clintons made new, outrageous demands after snubbing congressional subpoenas.
Former President Bill Clinton was scheduled to appear for a closed-door deposition last Tuesday.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was set to appear for a closed-door deposition last Wednesday.
Bill Clinton was a no-show.
Hillary also snubbed the subpoena.
The Clintons claimed they already provided the Committee with all of the information they have on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Clinton’s lawyers told Politico that the House Oversight subpoenas are not enforceable because they are “not related to a valid legislative purpose,” and are therefore “invalid and legally unenforceable.”
Comer said contempt proceedings with begin on Wednesday.
“Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer,” Comer said on Tuesday.
“The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment. The House Oversight Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas require the Clintons to appear for depositions that are under oath and transcribed. Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result,” Comer said.
“The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein’s crimes. As part of our investigation, the House Oversight Committee has released transcripts of interviews with former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, which has provided much needed transparency to the public. Without a formal record, Americans would be left to rely on competing accounts of what was said,” Comer added.
“Former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee’s investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government’s work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family’s relationship with Mr. Epstein,” he added.

Clinton’s spokesperson lashed out at Comer.
“We never said no to a transcript. Interviews are on the record and under oath. Whether it was written or typed isn’t why this is happening. If that were the last or only issue, we’d be in a different position. You keep misdirecting to protect you-know-who and God knows what,” a spokesperson for Clinton said.
