The U.S. House is expected to vote Monday on a resolution to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with House subpoenas requiring their testimony in an investigation related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is “ready to put a resolution on the House floor” seeking contempt findings against the Clintons, according to the Washington Examiner. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to vote on advancing the measure, which is expected to pass given the Republican majority.

The effort has already received backing from the House Oversight Committee, where some Democratic members joined Republicans in support. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said the subpoenas carried legal force and were not optional.

“Subpoenas are not mere suggestions; they carry the force of law and require compliance,” Comer said. “Former President Clinton and Secretary Clinton were legally required to appear for depositions before this Committee. They refused.”

Earlier this month, the Clintons declined to appear for depositions as required by the subpoenas. Instead, they submitted a letter asserting they had already provided what they described as the limited information they possessed. In the letter, the Clintons criticized the investigation and wrote that “bringing the Republicans’ cruel agenda to a standstill while you work harder to pass a contempt charge against us than you have done in your investigation this past year would be our contribution to fighting the madness.”
