Clinton Subpoena Breaks New Ground in Epstein Inquiry
TL;DR Summary
House Oversight Chair James Comer won a lengthy fight to compel Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify under subpoena in the Epstein investigation, the first time a former president has been required to testify to Congress. The move is hailed by supporters as a bold oversight power but criticized as potentially undermining democratic norms and weaponizing investigations; Democrats warn it could lay groundwork for future probes, including of Donald Trump, illustrating a partisan shift in how congressional inquiries are conducted.
