The House Oversight Committee is moving toward holding former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress after he failed to appear for a subpoenaed deposition tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Lawmakers say the subpoena was approved unanimously, while the Clintons argue the probe is politically motivated and say they have already provided what limited information they have. The standoff raises major questions about congressional authority, accountability, and whether high-profile figures can refuse in-person testimony. With contempt proceedings now on the table, this clash could become one of the most explosive political fights of the year.
