House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer invoked the Peter Navarro precedent<\/span><\/a> in warning Bill and Hillary Clinton not to defy the subpoenas he issued to them earlier this week which compels them to testify on their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Navarro, President Trump’s trade and manufacturing policy chief was convicted of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena by the partisan House Select Committee on Jan. 6. He was incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami from March 19 to July 17, 2024.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cI\u2019ve never once lost a subpoena battle in court,\u201d Comer said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, when you subpoena a former president, your odds aren\u2019t the best at getting them in if you look at history. But what makes this different is this subpoena was approved in a bipartisan manner by a subcommittee vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comer continued: \u201cSo you had Democrats and Republicans on the record voting to subpoena that whole list you showed, and there were Republicans and Democrats on that list. In addition to those subpoenas, I also subpoenaed (Attorney General) Pam Bondi for all the Epstein files.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the Clintons, subpoenas were issued to former FBI Director James Comey; former Attorney Generals Alberto Gonzales, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, William Barr, and Jeff Sessions; and former special counsel Robert Mueller.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone doesn\u2019t comply with a subpoena, we\u2019ve seen it happen in the past, in both my committee, as well as on the Jan. 6 committee, when the Democrats had the majority, and you can hold them in contempt of Congress, and with a Republican attorney general, that\u2019s something that I think that the Clinton legal team is going to think long and hard about,\u201d Comer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to have a lot of sympathy, probably, from the Trump DOJ, if the Clintons fail to comply with a bipartisan, congressionally approved subpoena, which is what that was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The letter accompanying the subpoena sent to Bill Clinton noted: \u201cBy your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003. During one of these trips, you were even pictured receiving a \u2018massage\u2019 from one of Mr. Epstein\u2019s victims. It has also been claimed that you pressured Vanity Fair not to publish sex-trafficking allegations against your \u2018good friend\u2019 Mr. Epstein, and there are conflicting reports about whether you ever visited Mr. Epstein\u2019s island.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were also allegedly close to Ms. Ghislane Maxwell, an Epstein co-conspirator, and attended an intimate dinner with her in 2014, three years after public reports about her involvement in Mr. Epstein\u2019s abuse of minors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter to Hillary Clinton noted her husband\u2019s connections and added: \u201cMaxwell\u2019s nephew worked for your 2008 presidential campaign and was hired by the State Department shortly after you became Secretary of State.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the current congressional recess, Comer noted that \u201ceverywhere I\u2019ve been in Kentucky this week, people want to know about the Epstein files. Congress is very clear in this. We expect the American people to get the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
