Rep. James Comer on Clintons Refusing to Testify in Epstein Probe: ‘Former President Did Not Show Up Today’

EXCERPT:

COMER: " — the entire committee in a unanimous vote of the House Oversight Committee to subpoena former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is supposed to show up tomorrow. We‘ll see what happens there. But with respect to the former president, he did not show up today. One reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because he visited the White House — Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president. I‘ve been in Congress nine years. I think I‘ve been to the White House nine times in nine years. Epstein was in the White House double the amount of time that I was under one president. And then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein‘s plane somewhere around 27 times after the presidency. So, no one is accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that‘s why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton. Not a single Democrat showed up today. Not a single Democrat. The ones that that have press conferences on the Capitol steps and talk about how they‘re trying to get justice for the victims and all that, it just seems like they only care about questioning Republicans. And we‘ve had — we‘ve had a former Trump cabinet secretary, Acosta, in for a grilling. We had Bill Barr, former attorney general, in for a grilling. But for whatever reason, President Clinton didn‘t show up and the Democrats on the committee don‘t seem to have a have a problem.”
