Bill, Hillary Clinton Face Jail Risk Over Epstein Subpoena

Bill and Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed by Congress as part of an investigation into their alleged ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer warning that refusal to comply could lead to contempt of Congress charges and potential jail time. The subpoena, approved in a bipartisan manner, demands their testimony and documents related to Epstein's crimes, with Comer emphasizing that the current Republican-led Department of Justice under President Donald Trump is unlikely to show leniency if the Clintons defy the order. The investigation follows the release of Epstein's flight logs, which reportedly show Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's private plane multiple times in the 1990s, although Clinton denies any involvement in Epstein's criminal activities. The inquiry also extends to other prominent figures, including former FBI directors and attorneys general. Past instances of subpoena defiance, such as the brief imprisonment of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for ignoring January 6 committee subpoenas, illustrate the serious consequences faced by those who do not comply. This ongoing probe places significant legal pressure on the Clintons amid renewed scrutiny of their connections to Epstein and related controversies.
