Oversight committee chair James Comer said that he will move to hold former president Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify as part of the ongoing investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. Speaking to reporters, the Republican lawmaker from Kentucky said that he will begin the proceedings during the committee’s markup period next week.
This comes legal representatives for both Bill and Hillary Clinton sent an eight-page letter to Comer notifying him that they would not comply with the subpoenas compelling them to appear before the committee to deliver in-person testimony.
“To my knowledge, former president Clinton has never answered questions about Epstein, and we just had questions,” Comer said today. “I think anyone would admit they spent a lot of time together while Bill Clinton was president and post-presidency.”
Depending on the type of contempt citation, Clinton could either be forced to comply with the subpoena by a federal court, or even face prosecution by the justice department.
Clintons are center-right neoliberals. They in no way represent anything Left, which has no representation in the USA’s federal government. Hell, even Mamdani as a Social Democrat is just Centre-Left.
Yes and Mamdani is the best you can get since your system is so fucked up that the 2 major parties are both right wing
We have the same problem in Canada, the overton window slithered towards authoritarianism with the takeover of the ‘Progressive’ Conservatives by the Reform party, and the various provincial centre left NDP parties sometimes get power but each time by slipping into the centre.
