Clinton No-Show in Epstein Probe Tests Congressional Subpoena Power

Former President Bill Clinton was a no-show for a scheduled House Oversight Committee deposition on Tuesday related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. On Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to face the same committee but is expected to be marked absent too. Last summer, the House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to the Clintons as well as former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, William Barr, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey, Robert Mueller and others. Importantly, the subcommittee vote that led to the subpoenas did have bipartisan support. This was not a partisan exercise. There is much the Clintons could shed light on if they would only be forthcoming. President Clinton was a frequent passenger on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane, and both Clintons would have insight into why Epstein avoided serious scrutiny for years while he was already on the radar of federal law enforcement during the Clinton-era Justice Department. So what happens to normies when they ignore congressional subpoenas? They can be compelled to testify. They can face fines. They can face criminal contempt charges and even jail time. What happens to former Presidents when they ignore congressional subpeonas? We are about to find out, but history suggests none of the above.
