Former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary are among a range of high-profile people to be sent subpoenas from a congressional committee investigating deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Republican James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, issued the subpoenas on Tuesday to the Clintons, as well as eight other individuals.
The committee is seeking information about Epstein’s history, after President Donald Trump’s administration decided against releasing more federal files on the late financier.
That decision sparked outrage among Trump’s supporters and some Democrats, as many believe the files include a “client list” of famous men affiliated with Epstein.
As the rift between Trump and his conservative base on Epstein continues to widen, the committee, made up of both Democrats and Republicans, recently voted to issue the subpoenas.
Why would they need to subpoena the Clintons, if the Epstein files were all just a hoax?
Fair question.
I know that the likelihood of anything coming of all these Epstein-related events is slim absent a suicidal whistleblower, but holy crap is it satisfying seeing Donald and Bill at least publicly and culturally ensnared in the uproar.
Couldn’t have happened to better people.
They’re not going to allow questions about orangeboi, or anything that would implicate him.
