Why are Bill and Hillary Clinton avoiding Epstein inquiry?
Hold onto your hats, folks-- Bill and Hillary Clinton have dodged yet another round of questions about their ties to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, leaving many Americans wondering what’s really behind the curtain.
The House Oversight Committee’s probe into federal mishandling of the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases has hit a wall with both Clintons failing to show up for their scheduled depositions, fueling public skepticism about their connections to the disgraced financier, as PJ Media reports.
Let’s rewind to early August, when House Oversight chair James Comer, with bipartisan backing from both Republicans and Democrats, issued subpoenas to the Clintons demanding clarity on possible Justice Department lapses in the Epstein saga.
Clintons miss scheduled testimony dates
Hillary Clinton was slated to face the committee on Oct. 9, but she was a no-show, offering no public explanation for the absence.
Bill Clinton, not to be outdone, skipped his own deposition set for Oct. 14, leaving the committee empty-handed once again.
Now, the committee is in talks with the Clintons’ attorney to reschedule, but those active subpoenas aren’t going anywhere—eventually, they’ll have to face the music, or so we hope.
Bill Clinton’s Epstein jet connections
Bill Clinton has openly admitted to hitching rides on Epstein’s private jet multiple times, claiming it was all for Clinton Foundation business, though reports hint he may have flown more often than he’s let on.
Evidence like flight logs and photographs, including one showing Bill receiving a shoulder massage from an Epstein accuser at a Portuguese airport, paints a picture that’s hard to dismiss as mere coincidence.
Sure, no criminal accusations have been leveled against the Clintons, but the optics? They’re murkier than a swamp on a foggy night.
Maxwell’s ties raise eyebrows
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s right-hand confidante, attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010, while Hillary’s links to Epstein are called “less direct” but still raise plenty of red flags.
Maxwell herself told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, “Bill was my friend, not Epstein’s,” insisting he never set foot on Epstein’s infamous island, a claim that only deepens the mystery.
Chairman Comer didn’t mince words back in August, stating, “Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed.”
What are they hiding?
Let’s unpack Comer’s point -- while Maxwell denies Bill’s island visits, the persistent rumors and documented jet trips suggest there’s more to the story than we’re being told.
The committee isn’t out for blood; it’s simply trying to untangle the web of relationships and figure out what the Clintons knew about Epstein’s despicable conduct, a mission most Americans would support.
Yet, as the Clintons continue to delay their testimonies, choosing to negotiate schedules rather than face questions head-on, the court of public opinion grows louder with speculation -- and frankly, who can blame them for wondering?
