Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena to testify in an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons’ attorney sent a letter to Comey arguing the subpoenas are invalid and legally unenforceable because they seek testimony with no connection to a valid legislative purpose, are intended to harass and embarrass, and potentially run afoul of the separation of powers doctrine.
The Clintons also sent Comer a personal letter and released it on social media.
“We have tried to give you the little information we have. We’ve done so because Mr. Epstein’s crimes were horrific,” the Clintons wrote.
Comer says he’ll begin contempt of Congress proceedings next week. It potentially starts a complicated and politically messy process that Congress has rarely reached for.
