House Oversight GOP rejects Hillary Clinton demand for public Epstein hearing: 'No one is buying their claims'
Same show, different day.
The House Oversight Committee is rejecting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's demand for a public hearing after she and ex-President Bill Clinton agreed to being deposed in the panel's Jeffrey Epstein probe.
"The Clintons are going to Clinton and try to spin the facts since no one is buying their claims. The only ones moving the goalposts are, as usual, the Clintons and their attorneys. The Clintons were issued bipartisan subpoenas for depositions—not a hearing," a spokeswoman for the committee's GOP majority told Fox News Digital.
"Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee voted to recommend the House hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress for defying duly issued subpoenas for six months. In the wake of facing contempt of Congress proceedings, the Clintons’ attorney finally agreed to filmed, transcribed depositions on February 26 and 27. These depositions are in accordance with House and Committee rules."
The spokeswoman said that all witnesses who appear in front of the committee "are being treated fairly and consistently."
BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON FACED 'SURPRISE' FROM DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR EPSTEIN TESTIMONY, SAYS REP COMER
The Clintons were two of 10 people subpoenaed for testimony before the committee as it probes the federal government's handling of Epstein's case. So far just two people subpoenaed by the committee, former Attorney General Bill Barr and ex-Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, have appeared in person.
The former president and former Secretary of State both agreed to terms for testimony set by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., after months of back-and-forth.
Their attorneys sent Comer an email hours before the House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most bills see a chamber-wide vote, was set to advance a pair of contempt of Congress resolutions against the former first couple.
Hillary Clinton posted on X on Thursday morning, "For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction."
"So let’s stop the games. If you want this fight…let’s have it—in public. You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there," Clinton wrote.
Comer announced on Wednesday that the former first lady will sit for a closed-door transcribed interview on Feb. 26, and the former president will appear on Feb. 27 under the same terms. Both interviews will be filmed, Comer said …
