Clintons press for public hearings as Comer doubles down on deposition terms

The Clintons push for open hearings on Capitol Hill as a deposition dispute with Oversight Chair James Comer intensifies; emails show they agreed to transcribed depositions behind closed doors, but they want public testimony while Comer argues subpoenas require compliance and contempt threats loom. The morning's updates also outline GOP clashes over Nazi-linked bank probes, Lindsey Graham's bid to expand lawsuits against the DOJ, and ongoing DHS funding talks that could trigger a shutdown ahead of Munich diplomacy.

Clinton Subpoena Breaks New Ground in Epstein Inquiry

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.

Comer Dismisses Clinton Special-Treatment Bid, Advances Contempt Proceedings

House Oversight Chair James Comer rejected the Clintons’ bid for a restricted, transcript-free meeting with Bill Clinton and said the committee will proceed with contempt resolutions, since subpoenas require sworn, transcribed depositions. Comer contrasted this with prior witness transcripts (Barr, Acosta) and argued that former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is needed given her past role as Secretary of State and knowledge of related matters tied to Epstein. The dispute centers on access, staffing limits, and the absence of an official transcript, with the committee insisting on a formal record.
