Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Wednesday, January 14th, 2026, and this is your AM Update.
Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president.
The Clintons defy congressional subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee in its investigation into the DOJ's handling of Jeffrey Epstein.
We're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities.
President Trump announces the next phase in his crackdown on illegal immigration. The president telling Iranian protesters to keep it up as the U.S. weighs options for possible intervention. And gone too soon. The brilliant Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic, author, and truly consequential thinker, dies at 68. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM updates. Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system in a way that would benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
Credit cards can keep your payments secure and they can provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas compelling testimony before the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the DOJ's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Chairman Comer setting a Tuesday deadline for Bill Clinton to participate, a Wednesday deadline for the missus. Hours before yesterday's scheduled appearance, the Clintons submitting a joint letter to Chairman Comer indicating they do not intend to appear. From the letter, quote, Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time. The Clintons maintaining they have no relevant knowledge. challenging chairman Comer's refusal to accept a sworn statement instead of testimony. Quote, you will say it is not our decision to make, but we have made it. Now you have to make yours.
Oh snap.
What are the Clintons' responses to the House Oversight subpoenas?
Clinton lawyers submitting an eight-page letter to the committee outlining the reasons they say, quote, the subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Among the reasons, the legal team asserting their in-person testimony has no purpose here other than to embarrass and harass the Clintons. Lawyers also writing, quote, the testimony sought by the subpoenas has no pertinence to the stated purpose of the committee's investigation, arguing Chairman Comer failed to explain why the Clintons' testimony would be relevant. Chairman Comer holding up a large binder to reporters on the Hill yesterday morning, speaking about the line of questioning the committee intended to pursue.
One reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president. I've been in Congress nine years. I think I've been to the White House nine times in nine years. Epstein was in the White House double the amount of time that I was under one president. And then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane somewhere around 27 times after the presidency. So no one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that's why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton.
