House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is rightly furious after former President Bill Clinton defied a lawful congressional subpoena in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and he’s moving toward contempt proceedings to enforce accountability. Americans deserve answers, not courtroom gamesmanship from political elites who act like the rules don’t apply to them.
The subpoenas were issued months ago and the committee set firm deposition dates in January 2026 — dates the Clintons declined to honor while calling the probe “legally invalid.” That dodge is more than arrogance; it’s an assault on Congress’s oversight role and the notion that no one is above the law.
At the same time the Justice Department has been slow-walking the production of Epstein-related records, telling Comer it will begin turning over material while warning of extensive redactions and delays to protect victims. This pattern of delay and obfuscation by federal agencies fuels suspicion and reinforces why Republicans insisted on subpoenas in the first place.
Make no mistake: defending the Clintons’ refusal to testify is being framed by their allies as protecting separation of powers, but ordinary Americans see it as privilege and protection for the politically connected. If the DOJ and the establishment press want to be taken seriously about transparency, they’ll stop burying records in bureaucracy and start delivering the truth.
Comer is doing the hard work many in Washington refuse to do — demanding answers, insisting on testimony, and threatening contempt when subpoenas are ignored — and conservatives should rally behind that fight. For survivors of Epstein’s crimes and for every patriot who believes in equal justice, there can be no soft treatment for the powerful; the DOJ must release full records and Congress must hold those who defy lawful orders to account.
