Bill Clinton & wife Hillary summoned in Epstein probe, told ‘delay not acceptable’
In a significant development in the ongoing probe into the ties between former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the US House Oversight Committee has summoned the couple to appear for depositions next month. The committee’s move comes after the Clintons were first subpoenaed in August, but have been avoiding depositions since then.
The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has been investigating the Clintons’ connections with Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The committee’s probe aims to shed light on the nature of the Clintons’ relationship with Epstein, who was known to have donated to the Clinton Foundation and had also flown on the foundation’s plane.
According to reports, the Clintons have been instructed to appear for depositions on specific dates next month, with Chairman Comer emphasizing that further delays would be unacceptable. “The committee will not tolerate any further delays or excuses from the Clintons,” Comer said in a statement. “It is imperative that they cooperate fully with our investigation, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that they do so.”
The committee’s summons to the Clintons marks a significant escalation in the probe, which has been ongoing for several months. The investigation has already uncovered some disturbing details about Epstein’s ties to the Clintons, including the fact that he had made significant donations to the Clinton Foundation and had also flown on the foundation’s plane, known as the “Lolita Express.”
The Clintons have maintained that they had limited interactions with Epstein, but the committee’s investigation has raised questions about the nature of their relationship. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Clintons said that they were “committed to cooperating with the committee’s investigation,” but did not provide any further details.
The House Oversight Committee’s probe into the Clintons’ ties with Epstein is part of a broader investigation into the convicted sex offender’s connections with powerful individuals and institutions. The committee has already subpoenaed several other individuals, including Epstein’s former associates and employees, as part of its investigation.
Chairman Comer has made it clear that the committee will leave no stone unturned in its investigation, and that it will take all necessary steps to ensure that those who are summoned to testify do so in a timely and cooperative manner. “We will not be deterred by delays or excuses,” Comer said. “We will get to the bottom of this, and we will ensure that those who are responsible are held accountable.”
The Clintons’ summons to appear for depositions next month marks a significant milestone in the investigation, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to the committee’s demands. One thing is certain, however: the committee will not tolerate any further delays or excuses, and it will take all necessary steps to ensure that the Clintons cooperate fully with the investigation.
As the investigation continues to unfold, it is likely that more details will emerge about the Clintons’ ties with Epstein. The committee’s probe has already shed light on some disturbing aspects of Epstein’s relationships with powerful individuals and institutions, and it is likely that further revelations will come to light in the coming weeks and months.
In the meantime, the House Oversight Committee’s summons to the Clintons serves as a reminder that those in power will be held accountable for their actions. The committee’s investigation is a testament to the importance of transparency and accountability in government, and it is a powerful reminder that no one is above the law.
As the investigation into the Clintons’ ties with Epstein continues, one thing is clear: the truth will come out, and those who are responsible will be held accountable. The American people deserve nothing less, and it is the duty of the House Oversight Committee to ensure that justice is served.
