[FozxNews] House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., rejected the Clintons' attorney's proposal to provide written answers
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.,
is urging former president Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to comply with subpoenas requiring them to appear for in-person deposition for the committee’s probe looking into late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case.
Comer first ordered the Clintons in August to appear before the committee for an in-person deposition. However, the Clintons’ attorney, David Kendall, said Nov. 3 his clients could instead provide written answers because it is "the most efficient and equitable way to proceed."
But Comer said such an arrangement was unacceptable.
| It’s been a long time since they were special, which is why the money isn’t pouring in like it used to. |
"Given their history with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, any attempt by the Clintons to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings," Comer said in a statement Friday that accompanied a letter to Kendall.
Comer said Friday that future delays would amount to defying a lawful subpoena. Comer said Bill Clinton’s deposition is scheduled for Dec. 17, and Hillary Clinton’s is scheduled for Dec. 18.
