Clintons keep pushing for public hearings as Comer digs in his heels
Clintons keep pushing for public hearings as Comer digs in his heels
House Oversight chair James Comer published emails Thursday between his committee and the legal team for Bill and Hillary Clinton, laying out the terms for the depositions the former president and secretary of state are set deliver at the end of the month under threat of being held in contempt of Congress. The decision to share that correspondence — which shows the Clintons agreed to transcribed depositions — comes as the Clintons are now doubling down in their desire to appear in open hearings rather than behind closed doors. “Let’s stop the games,” Hillary Clinton wrote on social media Thursday morning. “You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.” A separate email blast from the press office of Bill Clinton asked recipients to call Comer’s office to demand answers as to why interviews the committee is conducting as part of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation are not happening in public settings. Comer has previously suggested he is opening to facilitating a public forum for questioning the Clintons, who previously defied congressional subpoenas to participate in the panel’s Epstein inquiry. They finally decided to comply at the eleventh hour of a GOP-led effort to hold them in contempt, where many Democrats could have voted alongside Republicans and the former first couple ran a very real risk of being put in jail by the Trump Justice Department. In a statement, a spokesperson for Oversight Republicans suggested the Clintons should tread lightly, accusing them both of “spin[ning] the facts” and “moving the goalposts.” She also noted that former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta both appeared for closed-door interviews with the panel as part of the probe that were filmed. “The Clintons were issued bipartisan subpoenas for depositions — not a hearing,” she said.
