Former President Bill Clinton launched a fierce attack on Rep. James Comer's investigation into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, calling the House Oversight Committee's approach 'pure politics' and a 'closed-door kangaroo court.' The depositions, scheduled for February 26-27, will be videotaped and transcribed in private sessions, a format Clinton criticized as serving 'partisan interests' rather than seeking truth or justice for Epstein's victims.

Clinton argued that the videotaped private depositions benefit no one except Republicans pursuing political advantage. He noted he has already called for full release of Epstein files, provided sworn statements, and agreed to appear in person, yet Republicans continue demanding more. The former president insisted the investigation should occur in public hearings where Americans can judge for themselves.

Hillary Clinton joined the criticism Thursday, challenging Comer to 'have this fight in public' rather than through closed-door proceedings. The couple's agreement to testify came after both parties on the committee threatened contempt citations for ignoring subpoenas. Comer defended the bipartisan nature of the subpoenas, stating depositions are videotaped 'for all to see' and hearings could follow if desired.

This escalating confrontation highlights the partisan tensions surrounding the Epstein investigation and raises questions about transparency in congressional probes of high-profile figures. The Clintons' willingness to testify under oath about their Epstein connections represents a significant development in an investigation that has roiled Washington politics.
