Clintons threatened with contempt for defying congressional committee over Epstein

A challenge that the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the Republican James Comer, has warned that it will have consequences. Next week the procedures to declare the marriage will begin in contempt of “Congress.”

“Each person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and when you are prepared to fight for this country, its principles and its people regardless of the consequences. For us the time is now,” the Clintons said in a four-page letter to Comer.

“The decisions you have made and the priorities you have set as president in relation to the Epstein investigation have prevented progress in the discovery of the facts about the role of the Government”they reproached in the letter.

The Clintons accuse the Republican of having tried to divert attention from the links of the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, con Epstein to, instead, focus it on Democrats who also had a relationship with him, who committed suicide in 2019 in prison while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking of minors.

“We did it because Mr. Epstein’s crimes were heinous. If the Government did not do everything possible to investigate and prosecuting these crimes, for whatever reason, that should be the focus of their work… There is no evidence that they are doing it,” they lament.

“There is no plausible explanation for what they are doing beyond partisan politics,” they said, adding that they hope Comer will order the committee to hold them in contempt.

Epstein y Clinton

The Oversight Committee is the body of the Lower House in charge of supervising the Government and demanding official documents, from which the Democrats have disseminated the images and documents related to Epstein and his partner and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, before the law passed by both chambers forced the Department of Justice to release all unclassified documents related to the case.

Although the law gave the deadline to publish unclassified documents until December 19, the Justice Department only released a portion of the filesafter arguing that the amount of information was too high.

A few days later, they claimed to have received a million new documents related to the case.

Among the files that were made public last December were the related to Bill Clinton, who had a social relationship with Epstein, but who denies having known anything about his crimes or having been on his island.

Within these publications there are numerous photographs of Bill Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including images in a jacuzziin a swimming pool and on plane trips.

​Also included are records of flights from Epstein’s private planes featuring Clinton on several international routes in the early 2000s, as well as flights between Florida, New York and London.
