Former President and ex-Secretary of State call subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable” amid congressional investigation

Bill and Hillary Clinton have formally declined to appear before the House Oversight Committee this week. The couple stated in an eight-page letter to Committee Chairman James Comer that the subpoenas were “invalid and legally unenforceable.”

The Clintons refuse to testify on Epstein, saying in their letter, “Everyone must decide when they have seen enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles, and its people, regardless of the consequences. For us, that moment is now.”

Depositions originally scheduled for last October and later postponed were set for this week as part of the committee’s investigation into the federal government’s handling of sexual trafficking cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

After the Clintons refuse to testify on Epstein, Chairman Comer announced plans to pursue potential contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill Clinton—and potentially Hillary Clinton as well.

The refusal marks a new chapter in a high-profile congressional investigation that has already issued multiple subpoenas and examined how federal authorities addressed allegations of sexual exploitation tied to Epstein. Legal experts note that contempt proceedings, though rare for former presidents, carry potential civil and criminal consequences.
