Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky is playing hardball with none other than Bill and Hillary Clinton over their apparent sidestepping of subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, as the Daily Caller reports.

The House Oversight Committee, under Comer's leadership, is digging deep into the connections between the Clintons and the disgraced financier Epstein, issuing subpoenas for depositions that have yet to be honored.

Let’s rewind to the start: back in August, the Committee subpoenaed the former president and former secretary of state, setting initial deposition dates in early October.

Those dates came and went with no Clintons in sight, prompting Comer to reschedule for Dec. 17 and 18, with a backup option for early January 2026.

Now, Comer’s patience is thinner than a dime, warning that failure to comply could lead to contempt of Congress charges -- a move that’s got more teeth than a holiday nutcracker.

Comer didn’t mince words, stating, “Further delays are unacceptable,” and making it crystal clear that dodging these lawful subpoenas won’t fly on his watch.

Comer Pushes for Accountability in Scandal

Epstein, for those who’ve somehow missed the headlines, was a financier whose 2019 death in a Manhattan jail cell -- ruled an apparent suicide -- came while awaiting trial on serious charges.

Even after being convicted as a sex offender, Epstein kept company with a who’s who of elites, from Prince Andrew to Woody Allen, showing how deep his web of influence stretched.

The Clintons aren’t the only names in the mix -- photos released by Committee Democrats also feature President Donald Trump and Bill Gates alongside Epstein, though political mudslinging seems to be the name of the game here.

Political Games or Genuine Oversight?

Democrats have been quick to point fingers at Trump over past ties to Epstein, but let’s not pretend selective outrage is a one-party sport in Washington.

Interestingly, Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein victim, never accused Trump of wrongdoing in her memoir, released after her tragic suicide, which undercuts some of the partisan noise.

Adding to the plot twist, attorney Bradley Edwards, who represented Epstein’s victims, noted in a 2018 video, “[Trump] was very helpful in the information that he gave.”

Edwards went on to say Trump gave “no indication whatsoever” of being involved in anything improper, a statement that might not fit the narrative some are eager to spin.

Back to the Clintons -- Comer’s frustration is palpable as he declared, “If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable.”

This isn’t just political theater; it’s a test of whether accountability applies to everyone, or if some get a VIP pass to dodge tough questions about their ties to a man whose crimes shocked the nation.
