reporters on Tuesday<\/a> that the Clintons would not be “treated differently than everyone else,” and said the subpoenas for them called for depositions to be taken by the committee, not for a public hearing.<\/p>\n“If they get through the depositions and they still want a public hearing, we’ll try to do something,” Comer said that day.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for the Oversight Committee, in a statement Thursday to CNBC when asked about Hillary Clinton’s X post, said,\u00a0“The Clintons are going to Clinton and try to spin the facts since no one is buying their claims. The only ones moving the goalposts are, as usual, the Clintons and their attorneys.”<\/p>\n
“The Clintons were issued bipartisan subpoenas for depositions \u2014 not a hearing. Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee voted to recommend the House hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress for defying duly issued subpoenas for six months,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
“In the wake of facing contempt of Congress proceedings, the Clintons’ attorney finally agreed to filmed, transcribed depositions\u00a0on February 26\u00a0and 27,” the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n
“These depositions are in accordance with House and Committee rules. All witnesses appearing for interviews as part of our Epstein investigation are being treated fairly and consistently. The Committee has filmed interviews with all witnesses, including former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and U.S. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta \u2014 both of whom are Republican witnesses.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrive ahead of the 60th inaugural ceremony…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[208008,23,791,1071,122,3071,27423,10059,3,111,2603,21,19,22,20,25,24,62933],"class_list":["post-451917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-alexander-acosta","tag-america","tag-bill-clinton","tag-breaking-news-politics","tag-business-news","tag-crime","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-laws","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-social-issues","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-william-barr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
