Bill & Hillary Clinton In Legal Hot Water

Behind the sharp legal language is a collision of power, reputation, and unanswered questions. Comer’s threat to move forward with contempt proceedings if the Clintons do not appear underscores how far Congress is willing to go to force sworn testimony about their past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Their lawyers have negotiated delays for months, but the committee’s patience is visibly thinning as deadlines loom.

The Clintons are not alone in the crosshairs. Former attorneys general, ex–FBI directors, and senior law enforcement officials have also been subpoenaed as lawmakers sift through tens of thousands of images and records from Epstein’s estate. At the same time, internal turmoil over how to handle the Epstein files has reportedly shaken the upper ranks of federal law enforcement. The result is a volatile mix of political theater and genuine demand for clarity about who knew what—and when.
