Congress Committee Votes to Summon Bill and Hillary Clinton in Epstein Case Investigations
In a new development within the ongoing investigations into the Jeffrey Epstein case, a subcommittee of the US House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to summon former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton to testify about their alleged connection to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close associate convicted of sexually assaulting minors.
The decision came after a proposal by Republican Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania during a hearing of the subcommittee specialized in law enforcement, which was approved by a verbal vote.
In addition to the Clintons, the committee demanded the summoning of several former senior officials at the Department of Justice, including former FBI Director James Comey, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales. The committee explained that this step aims to "enhance the comprehensive investigation into the Maxwell case."
To enforce the summonses, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer needs to officially sign them. A committee spokesperson told the New York Post that "the summonses will be issued later," requiring the individuals to provide documents or testify.
It is worth noting that Bill Clinton mentioned in his memoir "The Citizen: My Life After the White House" (2024) his use of Epstein's private plane, known as the "Lolita Express," in the context of his work with his charity, denying any knowledge of Epstein's illegal activities.
