Bill and Hillary Clinton have lashed out at House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) as the Democrat power-couple faces contempt of Congress charges for ignoring congressional subpoenas for depositions in the Jeffrey Epstein investigations.
A top spokesman for Bill Clinton accused Comer of misrepresenting negotiations in the House investigation tied to convicted child sex offender Epstein.
It comes as the committee moves toward a potential contempt vote over the Clintons’ failure to appear for scheduled depositions.
Angel Ureña, deputy chief of staff to Bill Clinton, claimed the dispute is being framed around testimony format as a pretext for contempt proceedings.

He insists that the Clintons never rejected sworn testimony or an official transcript.
Ureña’s remarks came after Comer accused the Clintons of defying bipartisan subpoenas and demanding limits that would bar other lawmakers and prevent an official record.
“We never said no to a transcript,” Ureña wrote on X.
“Interviews are on the record and under oath.
“Whether it was written or typed isn’t why this is happening.
“If that were the last or only issue, we’d be in a different position.
“You keep misdirecting to protect you-know-who, and God knows what.”
Comer disputed that account, saying the Clintons’ attorneys offered what he described as an unacceptable arrangement as the committee advanced toward contempt.
“Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only,” Comer wrote on X.
“No official transcript would be recorded, and other members of Congress would be barred from participating.
“I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer.”
Comer also accused the Clintons of seeking special treatment and failing to comply with lawful subpoenas.
