Clintons Gear Up for Public Showdown in Epstein Probe

Bill and Hillary Clinton are set to testify before the House Oversight Committee in its Epstein investigation under a deal to avert contempt. The appearance fits a long pattern of navigating political crises with forceful messaging, even as Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton—not evidence of wrongdoing—have reignited scrutiny. Hillary urges a public hearing, while Republicans press for a high-profile confrontation amid a shifting Democratic bench in Congress.

DHS Expands Subpoenas Targeting ICE Critics Across Major Platforms

The Department of Homeland Security has issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas seeking personal data from online users who criticized ICE, targeting major platforms like Google, Meta, Reddit and Discord. The requests seek identifiers such as usernames, emails, phone numbers and IP logs, with companies typically notifying users and allowing challenges within 10–14 days. The move raises First Amendment concerns cited by the ACLU amid protests against ICE, as DHS and the platforms emphasize privacy review processes and legal safeguards.

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.
