Bill Clinton defies congressional subpoena, Comer says contempt charges moving ahead
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear Wednesday
By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News
Published January 13, 2026 10:16am EST

Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning.

Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House's bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday.

Comer said Tuesday morning, "We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee … to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress."

Hey all he has to do is sit down be sworn in and quote Hillary: "At this point what difference does it make?" and pound the table a couple of times.

House Oversight Committee Chairman @RepJamesComer
 says he intends to begin proceedings next week to hold Clinton in contempt of Congress. That would have to pass a House vote. If it does, it would then be referred to DOJ for potential criminal prosecution.

Didn't Steve Bannon get thrown in jail for Contempt of Congress?

And Hillary was always saying "No one is above the law", right?

Bill's busy playing hide and seek with an intern.

Think of the difference it made to all of those many young girls he molested on Epstein Island.

And you will never get him or Hillary to be sworn in as he is much afraid of other questions that might be asked.

Does Contempt of Congress include jail time? Of course if it ends up in Bondi's hands he won't see the inside of a courtroom.

As ragged as he looks, "I do not recall" might be a viable defense.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Rep. James Comer
@RepJamesComer
🚨🚨🚨

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.
 
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.
 
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.
