The House Oversight Committee voted in support of holding former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress on Wednesday after the couple refused to appear for closed-door transcribed depositions related to the committee’s ongoing investigation of deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
A resolution holding Hillary Clinton in contempt passed largely along party lines, 28 to 15. Three Democrats voted with Republicans: Reps. Melanie Stansbury (R-New Mexico), Summer Lee (D-Pennsylvania) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). The resolution holding Bill Clinton in contempt received more Democratic support, and passed 34 to 8.
