Clinton Lawyers Offer Written Declarations as Epstein Subpoena Fight Escalates
TL;DR Summary
Lawyers for Bill and Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s subpoenas for their testimony about Jeffrey Epstein are invalid and unconstitutional, lacking a valid legislative purpose and pertinent link to the inquiry, and they accuse the move of being an attempt to harass the former president and secretary of state. They propose providing sworn written declarations instead of in-person testimony and emphasize the separation of powers as a barrier to compelled testimony.
