MAGA loyalist Rep. Jim Comer (R) took a shot at his Democratic colleagues on Thursday, warning that how they react to subpoenas of the Clintons shows if they actually care about the victims in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Raw Story caught up with Comer and other lawmakers to discuss the latest developments in the case, in which Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to comply with House Oversight Committee subpoenas to testify in a Republican‑led investigation into Epstein. House Republicans are moving toward contempt of Congress proceedings against them.
Recent Epstein file releases included photos of Clinton in a pool and hot tub with Ghislaine Maxwell and others. The Clintons have maintained they already provided the "limited information they possess" about Epstein and Maxwell to the committee,” and did so “proactively and voluntarily."
When asked his thoughts on Democrats criticizing the Clinton subpoenas as merely the GOP playing "politics," Comer scoffed.
"They voted for it! They can't change history," he said.
Comer noted the Clintons' response to the committee's subpoena request made no mention of the Epstein victims.
"Just an attack on me," he said.
The bipartisan panel agreed to subpoena 10 people, "but the Clintons fought it!"
If Democrats on the committee walk back on the issue, that shows they're actually playing "political tricks," said Comer.
"They don't give a crap about those girls if they don't hold him accountable," he concluded.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) shrugged off the Clinton contempt saga and said he expects more files will come out.
"The only contempt we need is a contempt for Pam Bondi to release those files," he told Raw Story. "Everything else is theatre." He urged his Republican colleagues to get on board and go after the release of the files.
"They have no power," he said of the Clintons. "The only person holding this up is Pam Bondi."
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has allied himself with Khanna in the Epstein case, told Raw Story he sees a "path" with the courts to get those files out. He noted it's extremely rare to see criminal contempt of Congress prosecutions.
