So in a very lengthy statement posted earlier this week, they said that they are not planning on complying with the subpoena given by the House Oversight Committee.
citing the current political climate, saying that this is about right versus wrong.
And they've also said and claimed that their attorneys have found that these subpoenas are legally invalid.
So they're willing to fight this battle right now.
And it's obviously blown up and is considered very controversial, given how high profile both of them are.
So there could be potentially major consequences for the Clintons in this regard.
As House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has said that he does plan to hold them in contempt of Congress over this.
So here's what he had to say.
So obviously, when something like this happens, we could potentially see criminal charges filed against the Clintons in this regard.
People have served jail time for this before for not willing to give a deposition.
And something that Comer has said repeatedly is just because we're asking you to give a deposition and we sent this in on a bipartisan basis does not mean that there's necessarily any evidence of wrongdoing in this regard.
They're simply using this as a vehicle to get answers to questions they have regarding Jeffrey Epstein, as we saw many of those files released last year.
Well, their lengthy statement on social media did cause a lot of Democrats to rally around them.
They see this as an act of resistance to the Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration.
But one thing that Comer has argued is this was a bipartisan process, especially given that there was such bipartisan interest in the Epstein files and into this ongoing Epstein probe.
So here's what he had to say the other day about what we could expect next week.
Thank you.
Yes, so there was roughly a 20% drop in homicides between this year and last year, according to the Real-Time Crime Index.
This is an even bigger drop, according to The Hill, between 2023 and 2024, which is at 13%, which is still a big drop.
Now, you go back to 2021 during the Biden era, you know, you had a lot of Democrats, a lot of people arguing that there was a pandemic era uptick in crime.
