House Moves to Consider Contempt for Clintons

Source: Fox News

Summary

The House of Representatives is set to vote on whether to refer former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal charges. The House Rules Committee will consider contempt of Congress resolutions targeting the Clintons, which are expected to pass along party lines. The Clintons were subpoenaed to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein but never appeared on terms dictated by Committee Chairman James Comer.


Our Reading

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

The House Rules Committee meets to consider contempt resolutions, a familiar step in a long process. The committee’s vote is expected to fall along party lines, as it often does. The Clintons’ absence from the Oversight Committee’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein is framed as a refusal to cooperate. The House’s vote will recommend the Clintons for prosecution by the DOJ, a move that may be seen as a formality. The ritual of contempt votes continues, with each side playing its expected role.
