JUST IN: Comer Moves to Hold Clintons in Contempt After Hillary Defies Subpoena to Testify

Bill Clinton was a no-show on Tuesday.
Hillary also snubbed the subpoena.
The Clintons claimed they already provided the Committee with all of the information they have on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Clinton’s lawyers told Politico that the House Oversight subpoenas are not enforceable because they are “not related to a valid legislative purpose,” and are therefore “invalid and legally unenforceable.”
“After five months of good-faith negotiations, President Clinton has refused to comply,” Comer said on Tuesday.
“We are now initiating contempt of Congress proceedings,” Comer added.
Oversight Committee Republicans and Democrats unanimously approved a subpoena for Bill Clinton as part of the Epstein investigation.
