James Comer Says Congress Must Find Out What Happened on Epstein Island Because Bill Clinton Is ‘A Prime Suspect’

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) described former President Bill Clinton as “a prime suspect” in the Jeffrey Epstein case on Monday, telling Newsmax, “Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there.”

“I just want to ask you one question, Mr. Chairman. The American people want to know what happened on Epstein Island,” said Newsmax host Rob Finnerty during an interview with Comer. “I’m not gonna drop this topic. You’ve subpoenaed Bill Clinton. He’s gonna fight you tooth and nail, with the best lawyers in the country in some cases. Do you think Bill Clinton ever actually testifies?”

Comer responded:

I think we have a very good chance at this. I’ve never lost a subpoena battle, I’ve been chairman of that committee for a year and a half, this is the most challenging subpoena I’ve ever issued, but what makes this subpoena different is that the Democrats voted with Republicans. This is a bipartisan, congressionally-approved subpoena, and I think that will hold a lot of weight in court, and you’re absolutely right, he’s gonna have the best lawyers in America fighting us tooth and toenail on this, but the fact that this was voted on by Republicans and Democrats…

He continued, “Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee. So hopefully we’ll win that court battle with that subpoena and see President Clinton in October.”

The former president was subpoenaed last week “for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein” – the late sex offender who at one point counted Clinton, President Donald Trump, and other powerful men among his friends.

The House Oversight Committee also subpoenaed former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller; and former U.S. Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Alberto Gonzales, Jeff Sessions, William Barr, and Merrick Garland.
