These Democrats Voted To Hold Clintons in Contempt for Obstructing Epstein Probe
Fred Lucas /
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to send a contempt of Congress citation against former President Bill Clinton to the House floor, for not cooperating with the probe into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The vote to hold former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt for her failure to cooperate was closer, but still bipartisan, as three Democrats broke to vote with Republicans.
Nine Democrats on the Oversight committee joined 25 Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress, for a 34-8 vote.
The vote to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt passed 28-15.
The two contempt citations now head to the House floor for potential consideration by the full chamber. Contempt of Congress is a charge that can carry up to 12 months in prison or $100,000.
