Bill and Hillary Clinton must testify before Congress regarding Jeffrey Epstein

The House Oversight Committee has officially informed Bill and Hillary Clinton's attorney

that they must appear for depositions on December 17th and 18th in Washington

The committee approved the subpoena on a bipartisan basis back in July

and now Chairman James Comer says no more negotiating terms. The time has come for the former first couple to tell Congress what they know about Jeffrey Epstein

So the bill to release the Epstein files that was signed by President Trump this week is just one part of Congress's multifaceted investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking ring

In July, the House Oversight Committee sent subpoenas to multiple former government officials from both Democratic and Republican administrations demanding they be deposed under oath

The Clintons received the subpoenas and tried to negotiate. They said they can provide written answers to questions

But committee chairman James Comer officially informed them Friday morning that won't cut it

In a letter sent to Clinton attorney David Kendall, Chairman Comer wrote, suggestion that your client testimony would not be relevant to the stated purposes of the committee investigation because the events in question took place outside of the Clinton respective official duties If the Clintons do show up on the 17th and 18th

They will likely answer questions in private and the committee will release a video of certain answers

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna wrote on X, if the Clintons defy their subpoenas, there is only one thing to do, jail time

That may not be an empty threat. Democrats subpoenaed former Trump administration officials Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro

during the January 6th investigation. When they refused to comply, Democrats sent criminal referrals to President Biden's Department of Justice

which secured convictions that led to prison time. Members of Congress have good memories in that regard

and they have shown a tendency to try to get even. I'm Ray Bogan for Straight Arrow News
