Hillary Clinton Pulls No Punches In Fiery Response To GOP Congressman

Hillary Clinton didn’t pull any punches in her fiery response to Rep. James Comer’s repeated efforts to tie her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, has been trying to get the Clintons to testify about their relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted *** offender.

Last month, members of the committee ― including nine Democrats ― voted to hold the Clintons in contempt for defying its subpoena, which led the couple to agree to sit for depositionson Feb. 26 and 27.

But the former first lady, senator and secretary of state called out Comer on social media Thursday.

In an X post, she said that she and her husband had “engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith” and told them what they knew about Epstein under oath.

“They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” Clinton wrote.

In another post, she got blunt and told the Kentucky Republican, “Let’s stop the games. If you want this fight ... let’s have it―in public.”

She added: “You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.”

Comer hadn’t responded directly to Clinton’s post as of Thursday afternoon, but did repost a lengthy statement from the @GOPOversight X account saying that “the Clintons are going to Clinton and try to spin the facts.”
