US-POLITICS-JUSICE-EPSTEIN-CLINTON

US Representative James Comer, Republican of Kentucky and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, speaks to the press following the failure of former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to appear at a closed door deposition, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, January 14, 2026. Republicans moved on January 13 to hold former US president Bill Clinton in criminal contempt after he skipped a subpoenaed deposition in the congressional investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein -- marking a sharp escalation in a politically charged inquiry. The panel is also threatening similar action against former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who is due to testify January 14. (Photo by SAUL LOEB / AFP via Getty Images)
