![Comer Calls Out Clintons for Skipping Deposition, Will Move Forward With Contempt Charges [WATCH]](https://teamredvictory.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Comer-Calls-Out-Clintons-for-Skipping-Deposition-Will-Move-Forward.jpg)
The subpoena clock hit 10 a.m. — and Bill Clinton didn’t hit the door.
Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning. Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn, closed-door deposition in the House’s bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened contempt proceedings if Clinton didn’t show — and on Tuesday, he said he’s following through. “We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee … to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress,” Comer said.
“I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee,” Comer told reporters after formally ending the deposition.
“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.”
He said “not a single Democrat” showed up to the deposition on Tuesday.
Other lawmakers seen going into the committee room include Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Michael Cloud, R-Texas, Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and Scott Perry, R-Pa.
Hillary Clinton had also been subpoenaed to appear on Wednesday but likely will not show up.

The Clintons’ attorney sent Comer a letter confirming they’re challenging the legality of the subpoenas issued against them.
“[T]he Subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute,” reads the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital.
