WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are refusing to testify to Congress about Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons in a letter Tuesday said they will not comply with a House subpoena to testify.
The Democrats slam a Republican-controlled committee’s efforts as “legally invalid.”
Republican lawmakers in response say they will launch contempt of Congress proceedings against the Clintons next week.
In a letter released on social media, the Clintons denounce the contempt push as being “literally designed to result in” their imprisonment.
The Republican push to hold the Clintons in contempt could result in prosecution from the Justice Department.
