House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Monday set new January deposition dates for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, warning that continued refusal to testify in Congress’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation will trigger immediate contempt of Congress proceedings.
In a sharply worded letter sent to the Clintons’ attorney, David Kendall of Williams & Connolly, Comer rejected arguments that the former officials should be excused from appearing and accused their legal team of mischaracterizing the scope of the investigation while obstructing efforts to schedule testimony.
“The Committee has chosen the date of January 13, 2026, for the deposition of President Clinton and January 14, 2026, for the deposition of Secretary Clinton,” Comer wrote. “If your clients do not comply with these new dates, the Committee will move immediately to contempt proceedings.”
