Clintons refuse to testify in House Epstein probe as Republicans threaten contempt proceedings

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have refused to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, citing the probe as 'legally invalid'. The Clintons' refusal has led Republican lawmakers to prepare contempt of Congress proceedings against them. The Clintons argue that the investigation is selectively enforced and politically motivated, with the committee chair, Rep. James Comer, potentially initiating a process that could result in their prosecution. Despite the Clintons' refusal, no wrongdoing has been accused against them in relation to Epstein, who was arrested on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in 2019 and died in a New York jail cell while awaiting trial.
