Contempt proceedings promised for Bill and Hillary Clinton if they refuse to testify about Jeffrey Epstein
There will be contempt proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton should the former president and the failed 2016 Democrat president candidate continue to refuse to appear before Congress to explain what they know about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
That’s according to a promise from U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee.
A report at Fox News reveals he now has rescheduled their depositions, they were to happen already, for January.
But Comer has warned in a letter further refusals to cooperate will bring results. He wrote to their lawyer this week.
“They’re saying now that he’s going to a funeral on that day, so we’ve been going back and forth with the lawyer,” Comer informed Fox News Digital. “We’re going to hold him in contempt if he doesn’t show up for his deposition.”

The letter explains, “The Committee has chosen the date of January 13, 2026, for the deposition of President Clinton and January 14, 2026, for the deposition of Secretary Clinton. If your clients do not comply with these new dates, the Committee will move immediately to contempt proceedings.”
The Clintons are just two of many government officials called to deliver testimony about Epstein.
So far former Trump administration Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump administration Labor Secretary Alex Acosta have appeared. Others have delivered written statements, or have rescheduled.
Comer, in fact, told the Clinton’s lawyer, “Your correspondence with the Committee continues to ignore the Committee’s arguments, misstates relevant facts, and seeks information about the Committee’s investigation to which neither you nor your clients are entitled.
“As the Committee stated clearly in its November 21, 2025, letter to you, the Committee’s decision to forego in-person depositions for certain other individuals was because those individuals ‘lacked any relevant information to the Committee’s investigation or otherwise had serious health issues that prevented their testimony.'”
And he confirmed, “Unlike these other individuals, President Clinton and Secretary Clinton had a personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
The Clintons have not yet been implicated in any wrongdoing related to Epstein, the report said.
