Former President Bill Clinton has launched a scathing attack on Republicans, accusing them of prioritising political manoeuvring over transparency in the ongoing House investigation into alleged associates of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Clinton Demands Full Disclosure
In a fresh statement, Clinton emphasised his commitment to cooperation, revealing that he has called for the complete release of Epstein-related files, provided a sworn statement, and agreed to appear before the committee. However, he contends that Republican efforts to keep certain aspects of the probe behind closed doors represent "pure politics" rather than a genuine pursuit of facts.
Hillary Clinton Joins the Fray
Adding to the pressure, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has directly challenged House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, urging him to hold a public hearing. She accused the committee of repeatedly shifting its objectives and using the investigation as a distraction from other pressing matters.
A lawyer representing the Clintons has further escalated tensions by alleging that Chairman Comer is acting in bad faith regarding the committee's attempts to secure their testimony, suggesting ulterior motives are at play.
Trump's Unexpected Reaction
In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump expressed discomfort with his own party's focus on investigating Bill Clinton over alleged links to Epstein. Trump stated that it "bothers" him, while also noting that he still "likes" the former president, highlighting internal Republican divisions on the issue.
The controversy underscores deepening partisan rifts in Washington, as calls for openness clash with accusations of political exploitation in one of the most high-profile investigations in recent memory.
