JUST IN: House Votes To Subpoena Bill And Hillary Clinton

Republicans on Capitol Hill, eager to satisfy MAGA demands for more transparency in the government’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, voted on Wednesday to drag the Clintons in for questioning.

Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA), a member of the U.S. House Oversight Committee, filed a motion on Wednesday asking lawmakers approve sending subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton in order to ascertain their knowledge about Epstein, his horrific sexual abuse of young girls, and whether he maintained a so-called client list of powerful individuals who shared his sick pleasures.

“I have a motion to subpoena the following individuals to expand the full committees investigation into Miss Maxwell – and the list reads as follows: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, James Brian Comey, Loretta Elizabeth Lynch, Eric Hampton Holder, Jr., Merrick Brian Garland, Robert Swan Mueller III, William Pelham Barr, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the third, and Alberto Gonzales. That’s the full list, Mr. Chairman. And that’s the motion,” Perry told committee Chair James Comer (R-KY).

The motion passed by a voice vote with no roll call.

Asked by Fox News if Comer plans to obtain the subpoenas, a spokesman responded, “The subpoenas will be issued in the near future.”

The simmering controversy had made odd bedfellows among conservatives and progressives. Earlier in the day, “Squad” Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) filed a similar motion subpoenaing any unreleased files from the investigation.

That vote passed 8-2; another request was sent to Comer.

Fallout from the U.S. Justice Department’s closure of the case was swift and has lasted into its third week. President Donald Trump is reportedly “furious” with the incessant news coverage, insiders told Politico, while he has worked diligently to try to turn the page.

At a brash press briefing on Wednesday, members of the administration turned over new information about the government’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 election, culminating in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stating she had referred former President Barack Obama for criminal prosecution.

While the seismic announcement was well-covered, it hasn’t silenced House Republicans under pressure from their base to keep their focus on the Epstein investigation, splitting their loyalty between their own reelection campaigns and the notoriously fickle Trump.

A GOP-led motion on Wednesday also directed Comer to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the former mistress of Epstein, now serving a 20-year sentence for helping him to sex-traffick underage girls.

Rather than wage war on one another, the Oversight hearing was a rare spectacle where Republicans and Democrats furthered one another’s motions.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) successfully got Rep. Lee’s motion amended to include demands for documents from the Biden administration.

A spokesman for the Clinton Foundation did not return a request for comment from Fox News.
