A House committee recommended holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress on Wednesday, a key step on a path that could lead to criminal charges against the high-profile Democrats.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to advance separate reports on contempt, citing the duo’s failure to appear for separate depositions tied to the panel’s investigation of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The panel voted 34-8, with two voting present, on a report on the former Democratic president and 28-15, with one voting present, on a report on the former secretary of State. The reports recommend House resolutions on contempt.
