WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying their subpoenas. Following his votes to hold the former President and Secretary of State in contempt of Congress, Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement:

“As Hillary Clinton has said herself, no one is above the law. By defying their subpoenas, the Clintons have made it clear that they see themselves as an exception to this concept,” said Rep. Palmer. “Because of their relationship with Jeffery Epstein, subpoenas were issued to the Clintons to compel them to appear before the Committee to answer questions about the abuse of young women by friends and associates of Epstein. There were serious crimes committed against underage girls that the Oversight Committee is committed to investigating and to finding those responsible so they can be held accountable.”
