A House committee voted on a bipartisan basis Wednesday to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress.
The House Oversight Committee vote for the former president to face a potential criminal misdemeanor for refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify about his relationship with deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was 34-8.
Another vote for his wife, the former first lady and secretary of state, failing to testify was 28-15.
Oversight members and staff had voted to issue subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton last July on a bipartisan basis as well.
Neither complied with the order for depositions after five months of back-and-forth between the Clintons’ lawyers and Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).
Here’s the latest on the release of the Epstein files
