Democrats Break with Leadership in Contempt Bid Against Bill Clinton
TL;DR Summary
Nearly half of the House Oversight Committee Democrats voted to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt for missing a deposition about Epstein, defying party leadership. The panel’s vote was 34-8 with nine Democrats crossing party lines, while only three Democrats supported holding Hillary Clinton. A floor vote remains uncertain as lawmakers weigh victims’ concerns and the broader Epstein document dispute.
