The Clintons Are So Over
Byron York
What do you call a former two-term president of the United States and his wife, a former first lady, secretary of state and nominee for president? In the Democratic Party, you call them baggage.
After years of scandal, former President Bill Clinton is caught up in the Jeffrey Epstein revelations. Last August, the House Committee on Government Reform sent Clinton a subpoena based on his travel on Epstein's airplane, on alleged contact with Epstein's victims and on his alleged closeness with Ghislaine Maxwell. At the same time, the committee sent a subpoena to failed 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, basically asking for what she knew about Epstein via her husband.
A recipient of a congressional subpoena might think it is unnecessary. A recipient might think it is politically motivated. But whatever he or she thinks, a recipient is not entitled to treat the committee with contempt, which is what the Clintons did.
Republican committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky laid out the timeline of the Clintons' refusal to cooperate. The committee originally asked Bill Clinton to appear for a deposition on Oct. 14, 2025. They then moved the date to Dec. 17, 2025. The former president declined, saying he would be attending a funeral on that day. "The committee said it would accommodate him if he would propose dates certain in January," Comer noted. "[Clinton] declined." At that point, the committee sent him a follow-up subpoena with an instruction to appear for a deposition on Jan. 13, 2026. He did not show up. Hillary Clinton received the same treatment, and it was the same story.
