Comer: Bill Clinton ‘prime suspect’ in Epstein investigation
by Ashleigh Fields - 08/12/25 9:57 AM ET
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Monday said former President Clinton’s alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein should be uncovered during his testimony before members of Congress.
“Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee,” Comer said Monday during an interview on Newsmax.
“So, hopefully we’ll win that court battle with that subpoena and see President Clinton in October,” he added.
Comer subpoenaed Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on Aug. 5 to give testimony in the House GOP’s probe of matters surrounding Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in 2019. Democrats have joined Republicans in backing the request.
“I’ve never lost a subpoena battle. I’ve been chairman of that committee for a year and a half — this is the most challenging subpoena I’ve ever issued, but what makes this subpoena different is that the Democrats voted with Republicans,” Comer told Rob Finnerty.
The Kentucky Republican added that he believes the subpoena will hold “a lot of weight in court.”
