No one is above the law—especially these notorious criminals.

The House Oversight Committee is moving to hold Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after both ignored lawful subpoenas demanding sworn depositions in the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.

Chairman James Comer blasted the Clintons’ counteroffer—no transcript, no lawmakers present, only staff notes—as a laughable attempt to evade accountability and secure special treatment never afforded to ordinary Americans. Comer cited the Clintons’ deep ties to Epstein, including at least 26 documented flights and long-standing personal connections, as precisely why sworn testimony is required.

Democrats predictably attacked the effort as politically motivated. Republicans responded with a simple principle: the law applies equally, or it applies to no one.

If the contempt resolutions are approved, they will advance to the full House and could be referred to the Department of Justice for criminal enforcement.

For years, elites have been insulated from consequences. This vote is a test of whether Congress still believes that subpoenas—and the law itself—mean anything at all.

Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon were imprisoned for this.

Regarding their refusal to testify on their involvement with their friend and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Committee Chair James Comer summarizes the latest:

Hillary, Bill Clinton Face Criminal Contempt Charges After Defying House Subpoenas in Epstein Probe

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. 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…. Without a formal record, Americans would be left to rely on competing accounts of what was said. 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. Contempt proceedings begin tomorrow (Comer)
