Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Former President Bill Clinton did not appear to testify for a House committee deposition on Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, prompting the committee to pursue contempt proceedings next week.
Neither Bill Clinton nor any Democratic Party members of the committee arrived for the deposition hearing, including Ranking Member Robert Garcia, D-Calif., House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a news release.
Comer afterward criticized Bill Clinton and the committee Democrats for not appearing and said the committee will undertake contempt of Congress proceedings next week.
"Bill Clinton did not show up, and I think it's important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee," Comer said.
