A hearing room for the House Oversight Committee erupted into laughter Wednesday after the committee chair, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), blanked on a question asked by a Democratic committee member.

Wednesday’s hearing saw the committee fiercely debate whether to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena to testify about their connections to Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. Challenging the measure was Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), who pressed Comer on whether the committee had already been informed that the Clintons were willing to testify on the record.

President Donald Trump lamented that he couldn't "screw" people whom he didn't like during a rant at the World Economic Forum.

In a fiery speech, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) demanded Wednesday that bank executives for JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America be dragged before Congress to testify over their alleged unlawful connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

Tlaib’s remarks were made during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee, which was deliberating a vote on a measure that would find Hillary and Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena, punishable with up to one year in jail.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom was captured on video laughing Wednesday while listening to President Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

During a Wednesday hearing, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) argued that "wealth and power cannot shield people from accountability from this committee."

Former Vice President Al Gore said he was shocked by President Donald Trump's threats against a NATO ally during a speech in Switzerland.

Trump told European leaders in Davos that he would not send troops to seize Greenland from Denmark but still demanded ownership of the world's largest island, saying he would impose severe economic and security penalties if he was not given what he wanted, and Gore reacted to the speech afterwards in an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) declared that Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) was "out of order" after she demanded contempt proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

During Wednesday's Republican-controlled hearing seeking to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt for declining to testify on Epstein, Lee noted that Attorney General Pam Bondi had also not responded to a subpoena on the matter.

President Donald Trump demanded control of Greenland during his speech to world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

President Donald Trump lashed out at NATO Wednesday during his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland over its opposition to his threats to acquire Greenland – which he appeared to confuse with Iceland – while also reminiscing of when NATO’s secretary general once referred to him as “daddy.”

Trump argued the United States’ relationship with NATO to be a “one-way street,” citing the “trillions” of dollars the United States has paid as part of the alliance while complaining that European nations have opposed his efforts to acquire Greenland. He also argued that his efforts to end the Russo-Ukrainian war have gone unappreciated by the alliance, which he said “loved” him before he launched his campaign to acquire Greenland.

President Donald Trump briefly said that he wanted to acquire Iceland instead of Greenland during a confusing moment at the World Economic Forum.

While speaking in Davos on Wednesday, Trump insisted that "all the U.S. is asking is for a place called Greenland."

President Donald Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, went on Fox Business on Wednesday to complain about the fact that America's NATO allies are now sending small security forces to Greenland, in response to President Donald Trump's escalating threats to annex the glaciated island territory away from the Kingdom of Denmark.

"I didn't understand why they sent a couple dozen military people to Greenland," Lutnick told anchor Maria Bartiromo. "I mean, it made no sense whatsoever. They didn't send those couple of dozen people to Ukraine before Russia came in."
