House Panel Moves to Hold Clintons in Contempt Over Epstein Snub

The U.S. House Oversight Committee is moving to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. This action comes after the couple did not appear for scheduled depositions. The committee is investigating connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in jail while awaiting trial on new charges. Committee Republicans are driving the effort. They are expected to advance formal contempt resolutions against the Clintons. A contempt finding is a legal declaration that someone willfully obstructed the work of Congress. The Clintons have not publicly commented on the missed depositions or the potential contempt charges. The committee's investigation into Epstein's network continues.
