House GOP's Clinton hearings could spectacularly blow up in Trump's face: analyst

The House GOP's efforts to force former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, a former Secretary of State, to testify about their relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could backfire on President Donald Trump.

On Monday, the Clintons agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which is led by fierce Trump ally Rep. James Comer (R-KY), and includes other MAGA firebrands like Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Nancy Mace (R-SC). The agreement ended a months-long stalemate, during which time the Clintons' lawyer accused Comer of acting in bad faith to secure their testimony.

CNN contributor Kara Swisher revealed on Tuesday on "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins that those efforts could blow up in Trump's face by increasing calls for him and his allies to testify as well.

"I think everybody should [testify]," Swisher said about people mentioned in the latest release of the Epstein files.

"I did a recent interview with [Rep.] Ro Khanna (D-CA) and he said the same thing," she added. "They should testify, and they should testify fully and honestly. And so should President Trump."

Last week, the Department of Justice released more than 3 million new documents from the Epstein files, some of which painted Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier in a negative light.
