Hillary Clinton didn’t pull any punches in her fiery response to Rep. James Comer’s repeated efforts to tie her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, has been trying to get the Clintons to testify about their relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.

Last month, members of the committee ― including nine Democrats ― voted to hold the Clintons in contempt for defying its subpoena, which led the couple to agree to sit for depositions on Feb. 26 and 27.
But the former first lady, senator and secretary of state called out Comer on social media Thursday.
In an X post, she said that she and her husband had “engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith” and told them what they knew about Epstein under oath.
“They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” Clinton wrote.

For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath.
They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 5, 2026
In another post, she got blunt and told the Kentucky Republican, “Let’s stop the games. If you want this fight … let’s have it―in public.”
She added: “You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.”

Nice try. You were supposed to appear and chose not to. We both know your transcribed interview is going to be much more difficult & comprehensive than a showy five minute exchange for TV. You should’ve appeared as you originally were scheduled to do. @RepJamesComer is right 🇺🇸 https://t.co/CfC3VyJxpY
